I don't understand why the experience you describe would lead you to conclude that LLMs might be useful for software development.

The response "that's why we shouldn't have done it like that!" sounds like a variation on the usual "You're absolutely right! I apologize for any confusion". Why would we want to get stuck in a loop where an AI produces loads of absolute nonsense for us to painstakingly debug and debunk, after which the AI switches track to some different nonsense, which we again have debug and debunk, and so on. That doesn't sound like a good loop.
