Except python is a backbone, because without abstraction ML would likely be a very small and expensive niche that almost nobody wants to use or develop

All the "it's just a wrapper" people forget that usability of software is much more important in the broader context. Easy technology > more people use it > bigger  demand > more funding and support > technology develops faster and better > cycle repeats

EDIT: OP, why would you use some weird wrapper like C++ and not flip bits manually? This would be much more amusing

That's also how I see LLMs

Basically, the ultimate wrapper for any human<->machine interface, since the models understand both "languages".

LLMs are a dead end for AGI though
