The trouble is the only reliable use-case LLMs actually seem good at is "augmented search engine". Any attempts at coding with them just end up feeling like trying to code via a worse interface.

So it's handy to get a quick list of "all packages which do X", but it's worse then useless to have it speculate as to which one to use or why, because of the hallucination problem.

Yes it does work as an augmented search engine but, it does output working code you just have to prompt it better if the code is not that complex like a simple endpoint you just have to understand exactly what you want.
