Iteration is inherent to how computers work. There's nothing new or interesting about this.
The question is who prunes the space of possible answers. If the LLM spews things at you until it gets one right, then sure, you're in the scenario you outlined (and much less interesting). If it ultimately presents one option to the human, and that option is correct, then that's much more interesting. Even if the process is "monkeys on keyboards", does it matter?
There are plenty of optimization and verification algorithms that rely on "try things at random until you find one that works", but before modern LLMs no one accused these things of being monkeys on keyboards, despite it being literally what these things are.
First OpenAI video I've ever seen, the people in it all seem incompetent for some reason, like a grotesque version of apple employees from temu or something.
Any old laptop (especially thinkpad) can run linux well. If you want to use it it's not "trouble" per se because once you really know what you are doing there is no trouble(and you can't get to knowing what you're doing without finding out what is it you did that caused you the trouble).
If you just want to use linux so you can tell someone about it, don't bother using linux and stick to what works for you.
It's just one of those consequences of "I don't care about the specifics just put it in production" that ends up in "why didn't you tell me that I completely misunderstood"
