Would some one with tokens to burn mind checking that statement out and post back. Be sure to use long dashes too.

is the similar statement true for coding as well?

i.e. You have to be a good engineer to understand the well generated LLM code and a program

Yeah, so much for AI making mathematicians obsolete.
