A truck or a car that has a 99% success rate would be the top threat to society and quickly rise to the leading cause of death under 30 if widely deployed.

An LLM automating web developers basically puts the company out of business. Why would customers pay a developer when they can just build it themselves?

Wait, aren't human-driven cars already the leading cause of death under 30?
“99% success” is too vague to be especially meaningful in such different use cases.
99% successful web development where the 1% missing is security that and the company leaks its entire repository of user data every few months is not good.
99% successful car driving where 99% of 5-year periods have zero accidents per car is an order of magnitude safer than the average driver. (And gut feeling, I suspect approaching the tail-end of the safest drivers on the road.)
