Itβs probably more accurate to say that what your brain is doing when writing code is more like emulating an LLM than an LLM is emulating your brain.
Converting human language to code is an ideal task for LLMs, which is part of why they are such an exciting development.
Just yesterday I pasted in a hastily written function and told GPT-4 to "please evaluate this function and make sure it's bulletproof". It outputted a bulleted list of criticisms (mostly true) and then spit out a version of the function that was shorter, easier to understand, and was safer.
That's not just the "next most likely token". Or if it is, then that's all any of us are doing.
