I disagree about this:

And yet here we are. The worst fact about these tools is that they work. They can write code better than you or I can, and if you don’t believe me, wait six months.

I dealt with apache santuario for some xmldsign code and damn, documentation is horrible, only some things in stack overflow worked, but the java docs saved me, I just needed to think about it and rewrite, rewrite and rewrite so the code was legible. Whenever I asked any LLM, they "wrote" code directly from 2005, junior level style, using code patterns directly from the depths of time.

Edit: These LLMs are dumb as fuck, any non standard thing or completely new things they just shit their datacenter pants and just throws garbage at the screen.

    Yeah. I think the only people saying that LLMs can write better code than “us” are the ones who can’t write good code themselves. And thanks to the Dunning Kruger effect, they overestimate their own skill and think they can speak for the rest of us.
