Writing your Java code on an IDE, you just sat by while the interpreter did all the work on the generated byte code and corresponding assembly.
You merely watched the tools do the work.
You merely watched the tools do the work.
Compiled output can change between versions, heck, can even change during runtime (JIT compilation).
If you're barely doing anything neither of these things can possibly be true even with current technology.
In the same way, there is a distinct difference form having and encoding the concepts behind a piece of software yourself and having a rough idea of what you want and hiring a bunch of people to work out that conceptualization for you. Contrarily, a compiler or interpreter is just a strict translation of one representation of that conceptualization into another (modulo maybe alterations in one dimension, namely efficiency). It's a completely different dynamic and these snarky analogies are either disingenuous or show that AI boosters understand and reflect on what it is they are really doing far less than the critics.
