This parenthetical seems like the weakness in the argument to me. Why have an LLM reinvent the wheel rather than let the LLM build on existing libraries?
Because the LLM prefers to build its own. Unless you explicitly tell it not to, and even then you have to police it carefully. Most people won’t!
