There's a buge difference between possible and likely.

Maybe I'm pessimistic but I at least feel like there's a world of difference between a practice that encourages bugs and one that allows them through when there is negligence. The accountability problem needs to be addressed before we say it's like self driving cars outperforming humans. On a errors per line basis, I don't think LLMs are on par with humans yet

Knowing your system components’ various error rates and compensating for them has always been the job. This includes both the software itself and the engineers working on it.

The only difference is that there is now a new high-throughput, high-error (at least for now) component editing the software.

what is (and I'm being generous with the base here) 0.95^10? A 10-step process with a 95% success rate on each.
