When people say 'this is possible only with LLM-generated programming' what they often actually means is 'this is possible only with massively subsidised automation'. An LLM is probably not the most efficient way of getting to the end point, but when the compute for the LLM is subsidised by a factor of 10-100x, if the other technique requires 20% as much compute it's still vastly more expensive if you can't burn someone else's money on it.
