They really don’t work for us. The quality is just so poor.
We still write, read (and have an independent engineer review) each line of code by hand.
We go faster like that, but, most of all, it’s the guarantee we make to our users, also to continue to invest in our own understanding, because second order that’s valuable for the kind of high performance safety work we do.
Long term, I’m sure LLMs will improve, but right now they’re just not there.
