If only these LLMs were decent at C#. Unfortunately, they heavily lean towards very old data, would call obsolete APIs and in a style that is generally against what is considered to be idiomatic and terse.

For example, I once asked Claude 3 to port some simple XML parsing code from Go (because 10s to ask is faster than 60s to type by hand haha) and it produced this https://pastebin.com/3823LBiA while the correct answer is just this https://gist.github.com/neon-sunset/6ba67f23e58afdb80f6be868...

Functionally identical but such cruft accumulates per each single piece of functionality you ask it to implement. And this example is one where the output was at least coherent and doing its job, many more are worse.
