100%, i had gemini write code for a blog in golang - it has some bugs and it took me a some time to find them.
To me the sweet spot is, i write the code with the "Help" of an LLM. It means i double check everything it generates and prompt it to write code block by block - frequently acting as an editor.
Either you want human intervention for correctness and extension or you don't. Having LLM's write large swaths of code is like completely relying on tesla's autopilot - you are probably more stressed than if you just drove yourself.
The careful vetting of code and thoroughly testing it is super important, I would never even think of putting any generated code into any use without doing that.
Also your last comparison made me chuckle, good one :)
