Wait. It's going to happen and it's SOTA, but you can't read the article because genAI produces such garbage?

Seems like a disconnect there.

LLMs being used as a tool in general (and in the future) to automate creation and maintenance of software is not mutually exclusive to one person using LLMs to create an article.

writing prose and writing code are two different things

I can get good code out of LLMs. I can rarely get good writing out of them.

Maybe it's a skill issue, but it's not inherently a contradiction that they're better at some things than others. It's much easier to RL coding than writing.

Being dull and predictable and repeating existing patterns are characteristics of good code, and simultaneously characteristics of bad writing.

		I like to delete all AI comments, and write my own. If I can't write a comment, I don't understand the code well enough to have my name on the commit. I often delete the resulting comment, because AI likes to add many more than are necessary.
