> I'd rather have the project that works

Then more often than not, you want the project that eschews LLMs. They can't program worth a damn.

I find that they program very well.

It is bizarre having conversations with some people. There is a reverse engineering framework that had God of War 3 remaster running natively on Linux at 120 fps and all this tech is AI-assisted. A friend of mine was demonstrating it running to me last night, and then people like yourself tell me AI can't do anything when you can download and run it yourself.

I just had it write a bunch of script hooks for gamemoderun and at work I had it do probably a week's worth of work in an afternoon earlier today. It also smoke-tested everything for me.

It is utterly bizarre, and I think you are just denying reality.
