> LLM generated code will eventually contain UB.

Yes.

Even in languages other than C (i.e. you will get behaviour that nothing in the input specified).

When LLMs generate code, all languages have UB.

That's a bit silly.

UB means literally no restrictions. So if you standard says 'you have to crash with an error message' that's already no longer UB.

    Sure. For crashes. But when you instruct an LLM to do something, the output is probablistic, so you may get behviour that is unexpected and/or unwanted.

    Like storing security tokens in code. Or nuking the production database.
