The counter argument for this is the comparison for traditional compilers. AI is "the new compiler", just for natural language. The optimization happens over time! But I am not so sure about that.

Except that the most glaring difference is that compilers are deterministic, while LLMs aren't.

Given the same input, compilers will always return the same output, while for LLMs. They won't, given the same input, they will return different output.
