I would phrase it as "LLMs are good at big picture stuff and bad at fine detail", or to put it another way, they're accurate, but imprecise and with low reproducibility. | ||

It is my experience that it's the opposite. LLMs are very very precise but wildly inaccurate. They might give you 17 significant digits but be off by 10 orders of magnitude, to use a metaphor. | ||

But where does that leave us when programmers treat themselves as architects with the AI doing the drudge work? As seems to be the fashion. It then means you have 2 parties focussing on the big picture and no one focussing on the details. | ||
