Like "oh boy this process is going great!" and sends that into a giant word cloud that represents the entire program. Wait, scratch that, it's slowly filtered up through successive layers that provide detail to different *parts* of a program. Like "Oh the image generation is going great but it looks like the garbage collector is getting bogged down" - this could provide lots of useful information that an AI language model could sift through and filter into a batch of actually useful information. Think of it like this - stuff as much context into the LLM's memory buffer and say "summarize this in the same style. Make emphasis when necessary." the LLM could process all that data and it could be filtered up until there's no unprocessed data and then it could be given to the user in the form of a report or dashboard or something. BOOM AI PRODUCTIVITY. The user will ask the AI to increase certain variables, and it'll filter BACK DOWN THE CHAIN through the same exact process (just backwards) this time) and then individual components will know how to behave. Like imagine if your arms knew you were mad. They'd be much more likely to punch stuff right? Or imagine if your legs knew you were scared. They'd probably try and run as fast as they fucking can.
