I've noticed this a lot in LLM generated Java. Since it doesn't know what can or can't be null it tends to wrap everything in Optional<T>. Super strong type systems are becoming even more important.

You probably need to tell it to rip as many of those out as possible (and replace them with null annotations).

I've noticed LLMs sometimes pick a documented anti-pattern (passing Optional around in Java is not recommended), then amplify it (like a human might).

That's because LLMs suck.
