To the sceptics still saying that LLMs still can't solve "slime mold pathing algorithm and creating completely new shoe-lacing patterns" (literally a quote from a different comment here), please consider something we've learnt over and over again in history: good enough and cheap will destroy perfect but expensive.

And then cheap and good enough option will eventually get better because that's the one that is more used.

It's how Japanese manufacturing beat Western manufacturing. And how Chinese manufacturing then beat Japanese again.

It's why it's much more likely you are using the Linux kernel and not GNU hurd.

It's how digital cameras left traditional film based cameras in the dust.

Bet on the cheaper and good enough outcome.

Bet against it at your peril.
