> anyone who's a decently skilled software engineer and who's using LLMs to write code is going to be thoughtful.
Is this a definitional argument? As in, if you’re not thoughtful, you must not be a decently skilled engineer? Because I see no reason to believe that people are going to be thoughtful about LLM-generated code. Just the opposite. It’s incredibly tempting to LGTM it.

I think that's true for low value code. But the more important and crucial and high-stakes code is, the more effort people put into it, generally. Even with LLMs.
