This is like saying “why do I need a compiler when I can do better register allocation by hand in assembly?” Quick and “good enough” will win over “better.”

Compilers have been better than humans for decades. It’s also straight translation and not non-deterministic like LLMs are. LLMs are trained on the corpus of the entirety of these decades of research and implementations and yet they are still terrible at it.
They don’t randomly decide to drop your database either.
