Let's agree to disagree.

What I see is that while LLMs can do real tasks, they often produce overengineered unmaintainable slop (plenty of examples where code can be reduced 10x to do the same). I hope this is not a base to continue training LLMs on.

I don't disagree that there's a lot of slop getting churned out, you're not wrong there. I just have hopes that we'll course-correct after some initial adjustment period, but I have no idea how long that might be (guessing several years).

I don't know how long LLMs will hold their position, but in my mind, it makes sense that computers will eventually be the best programmers. Humans will still guide, but rarely write or even read code. I might be dead by then, but that's my prediction for the future.
