> LLMs aren’t exactly known for writing extremely optimized code.

They are trained on everything, and as a result write code like the Internet average developer.

The average developers suck. The distribution is also unbalanced. It is bulkier on the low-skill side.

Great UIs are written by above average or even exceptional developers. Such experience is tied to the real-life reasoning and combining unique years-long human experience of interacting with the world. You need true general intelligence for that.

  • That is the point I was making, but I suppose that may not have been clear. Thanks for expanding.

Before post training (GPT3 2020 class models). Post training makes it no longer act like the average.
