There's no way it is *better* than a human at understanding human requests.

I wouldn't be so quick to underestimate the worth stored in the models. The tricky part is getting it out in a useful form.

If we allow for the loose use of "understand" in the context of LLM:s etc, I would say that one model understands and combines fragments of knowledge, behavior and expectations of millions, perhaps billions of humans. I couldn't possibly match that. My best bet is to have cultural, technical, organizational and domain knowledge that covers enough of the task at hand.

On the contrary, I believe. The trained LLM:s generally have material and capacity to derive better than a programmer what a customer actually means and what is implied in the loose requirements.

What is missing is having the algorithms actually asking the customers to fill in the blanks or ambiguities instead of hallucinating or "guessing".

It seems that you misunderstand me. I responded to a post that said that the resource requirements of Java were a rational compromise for the availability of developers in $LANGUAGE, by showing a reasonable alternative.

I have used Java since 1.0 and still do, so no hate from this direction. I also do not hate .net (although I prefer using F# for it).

So they want to take the information that the data hoarders get anyway when you use their connected services, package it all up in a bundle, and give you some money for selling it to everyone else (or the same hoarders in case they get some additional data that they don't already have).
