A useful characteristic of a malleable system: "Squish to fit."
Allow imprecise / jury rigged connections, allowing experimentation without being too precious about it.
That was extremely hard to do automatically before LLMs.
You had to significantly cut down on the things that could be done, to the subset that could be made tinkerable.
But LLMs are squishy!
They can squish things!
Magical duct tape.
