> LLMs aren't perfect rule following machines is the fundamental problem here

I kind of get what you're saying, but let us not pretend that SW engineers are perfect rule followers either.

Having a framework to work within, whether you are an LLM or a human, can be helpful.



If someone regularly ignored critical instructions even though they were written down and had been told to follow them, that person would be fired.


People are excused all the time for things because they are elevated in other areas. It's about their value as a whole and that's where we are with LLMs. They aren't perfect but they do plenty we can't which means they are worth using.
