Yeah they're very much deniable. Raw LOC/hr is much higher, and putting together a MVP, but I've yet to see any evidence that an LLM is capable of doing anything unsupervised, and if you need a human supervising everything it does... why bother having an LLM in the first place?
Because it can perform much faster? Monitoring allows you to multitask more effectively. I would also disagree that you can’t one shot anything…claims like this are weak and I have enough counter examples in my own life that it’s trivially false. The question is more: can it one shot the right things with a low enough failure rate for it to be a good replacement. It’s hard to figure that out a priori.
