> It's not higher level programming, because it's imprecise.

This argument is weak. Undefined behavior does exist and „high level programming language „is a moving target

Not only that but throwing away precision is an intrinsic part of becoming higher-level. This is just a different way of doing it.

[incongruity → westoncb]

Is “imprecision” that the previous commenter is reacting to maybe more specifically the strong potential for nondeterministic behavior exhibited by LLMs? That would seem to stretch the practical experience of programming vs. “lower-level” tools like Python or C. (Also, a world where I am calling Python “lower-level” is wild).
