Sure, I manually test the output of the LLM. Manual testing is actually the main role for humans doing software engineering these days.

I wouldn't use it for flight control software yet, at least not without careful review, but most software isn't exactly critical. At the same time, I wouldn't trust flight control software that was only reviewed by humans, since AI is so much better at debugging.

We'll probably need humans in the loop for safety critical software for at least a year or two, before AI fully outpaces humans at generating correct code.

So I assume you don’t fly? Or is it only software created after 2025 which must be reviewed by the All Knowing Entity?

Can’t imagine a client allowing me to pass the buck like this.
