Even if that were feasible in a sustainable way (i.e. LLM-generated code wouldn't drown your code base in technical debt over the mid- to long term), the asymptotic end state of this is that the LLM provider owns the means of your production, not you anymore. How can anyone in their right mind run into this obvious trap?

The best you can do is see that you keep being one of those.
