I wonder about this.

If (and it's a big if) the LLM gives you something that kinda, sorta, works, it may be an easier task to keep that working, and make it work better, while you refactor it, than it would have been to write it from scratch.

That is going to depend a lot on the skillset and motivation of the programmer, as well as the quality of the initial code dump, but...

There's a lot to be said for working code. After all, how many prototypes get shipped?
