Machines can "write good enough code" under certain conditions (it is called program synthesis, also there is generation of code by model transformation*), but "LLMs" (alone) can't.

No matter how many lakes and rivers you evaporate with that shit, it will remain the wrong tool. A nuclear bomb where a fine tool is needed.

* NOT to be confused with "transformer models"
