I don't anyone have solved to do this automatically, in this community.

Value it provides is for the business. If a tool can do it, there is no need to hire or keep an engineering team.

Engineering team has a running cost. Where as, using a tool or if someone makes the tool, sells it at a price slightly lower than what's spent for engineering team, doesn't it add a value?

First. It's a tool that does, so reliable more than a human.

If it is a sales pitch, someone will get it done, as there is an opportunity

It's not reliable and LLMs cannot create anything novel.

Your hypothetical company is going to end up pulling a Crowdstrike with this method and then they definately won't need an engineering budget!

What exactly is the "value?". It worked before so what is the purpose of the change.

Sorry but, are you new to LLM's? Have you seen the recent news? "Reliable" it is not.

If your pitch is that an LLM will just write all of your code in the first place, there really isn't any need to migrate the code to another language when by your logic the LLM could just manage its existing language. The logic here quickly breaks down and doesn't make any sense.

What news? I'm not talking about LLM. I'm talking about the challenge of cross language and code generation

One such news entry, LLM's being unreliable is not a controversial opinion. It is well known and easy to find many instances of similar issues.

> code generation

What exactly do you think is generating the code? The article here is about generating code with an LLM.
