Ignoring how a thing was created, is it useful to me (or anyone)?

The fascination with LLM coding seems rooted in the new ability to create something with very little effort. Unfortunately, some people do not see the trade comes at the moment you have to evaluate the output for fitness or quality.

It turns out that you often need to understand the thing pretty well in order to be qualified to determine the quality of the output. That tends to dilute time gains, unless you leave off the evaluation step.
