I think a lot of people that don't really understand what they're doing obsess over LLMs for the same reason that they might have obsessed over visual programming or Plain-English-programming a generation ago.

In their mind, programming works like this:

1) A clever person designs the system/app/website/game in their mind.

2) The person uses whatever tools available to wrangle the computer into reproducing that vision.
