Same for human code. > 2. Who reviews that exhaustive test code? I am used to making functions small and making sure they work. Each programmer deals with this in their own way. But the benefits of LLM generation are immense. Planning (as generated by the LLM) alone is of immense use — it can surface things you weren't even thinking about. You don't have to implement the plan. Just look at it. If it's useful, use it. If not, discard it. The benefits of LLM generation are undisputed. We're just talking into the air here. Thousands and thousands of people are building new applications every day. What isn't suitable for your specific case? Just discard it. -- Jean Louis
