Depends on what one defines as a criteria for "better". Getting something to run and work, or actually writing good, readable, mostly self-explanatory, maintainable, easily testable, parallelizable, code.

better is relative, code that works but is kind of bad is still better than code that doesn't work and is also kind of bad. whether LLMs produce good code is another question
