I guess to follow up slightly more:

- I think the "if you use another model" rebuttal is becoming like the No True Scotsman of the LLM world. We can get concrete and discuss a specific model if need be.

- If the use case is "generate this function body for me", I agree that that's a pretty good use case. I've specifically seen problematic behavior for the other ways I'm seeing it OFTEN used, which is "write this feature for me", or trying to one shot too much functionality, where the LLM gets to touch data structures, abstractions, interface boundaries, etc.

- To analogize it to writing: They shouldn't/cannot write the whole book, they shouldn't/cannot write the table of contents, they cannot write a chapter, IMO even a paragraph is too much -- but if you write the first sentence and the last sentence of a paragraph, I think the interpolation can be a pretty reasonable starting point. Bringing it back to code for me means: function bodies are OK. Everything else gets questionable fast IME.
