The example you quoted could trigger a DDoS if a page using that code got popular.

I'm not claiming the code is perfect; early compilers that generated assembly often produced inefficient code as well. I hope LLMs' coding abilities will improve over time. For now, I'm not ready myself to use LLMs beyond basic prototyping.
