As a simple example: the brainfuck example (https://twitter.com/jdjkelly/status/1598063705471995904) is just entirely wrong, full stop. The comments do not match the code, and the algorithm is fractally wrong. Some examples: the algorithm does not perform variable-distance moves so it can’t actually handle arrays; the comparison test is just entirely wrong and performs only a decrement; the code that claims to copy an element just moves the pointer back and forth without changing anything; etc. etc.

...but it appears to be correct, as long as you glance at it (and don't have the time and/or expertise to actually read it).

We're clearly in the phase of society where "Appearance of Having" is all that matters.

This has always been the case in any society to be honest. I'm sure even Plato was writing about it back in the day.

Yeah LLMs are fun and can be useful but they are full of garbage and dangerous in production. Suspect that part will never be solved and their use cases will remain restricted to toys
