Yes, I am saying there's no functional difference (for practical purposes) between a deterministic transformation like a compiler and a perfect probabilistic transformation like an LLM.
We do not have "perfect" probabilistic transformation, and we probably never will (in part because it's hard to know what exactly that even means), but the gap between the two is shrinking every day.
Ergo:
> they're becoming (effectively) more and more similar every day.
If you meant they’re now better at mimicking compilers, sure, but they’re only mimicks.
