Why can't you use LLMs with formal methods? Mathematicians are using LLMs to develop complex proofs. How is that any different?

maybe. I think we're really just starting this, and I suspect that trying to fuse neural networks with symbolic logic is a really interesting direction to try to explore.
that's kind of not what we're talking about. a pretty large fraction of the community thinks programming is stone cold over because we can talk to an LLM and have it spit out some code that eventually compiles.
personally I think there will be a huge shift in the way things are done. it just won't look like Claude.

I don't know why you're being downvoted, I think you're right.
I think LLMs need different coding languages, ones that emphasise correctness and formal methods. I think we'll develop specific languages for using LLMs with that work better for this task.
Of course, training an LLM to use it then becomes a chicken/egg problem, but I don't think that's insurmountable.
