> It's my understanding that LLMs change the code to meet a goal

I assume in this case you mean a broader conventional application, of which an LLM algorithm is a smaller-but-notable piece?

LLMs themselves have no goals beyond predicting new words for a document that "fit" the older words. It may turn 2+2 into 2+2=4, but it's not actually doing math with the goal of making both sides equal.

Not necessarily. If you prompt a LLM to limit changes to some projects or components, it complies with the request.
