> As long as interfaces are well defined, comprehensive tests are written, memory is safely handled and time complexity is analyzable, who cares what the rest of the code looks like.

Software engineers and anyone who'd get hired to fix the mess that the LLM created. Also, ironically, other LLMs would probably work better on...not messy code.

> But transformers are offering us a way to build faster, to create more, and to take on bigger complexity

Wow. You sound as if building faster or creating more is synonymous with quality or utility. Or as if LLMs allow us to take on a bigger level of complexity (this is where they notoriously crumble).

> we might enter a software golden age where the potential for creativity

I haven't heard of a single (good) software engineer whose creativity was stifled by their inability to code something. Is an LLM generating a whole book in Hemingway style considered creative, or a poem? Or a program/app?
