It works until it doesn't at which point you have a massive, useless pile of uninterpretable garbage.

Then you ask another LLM to explain it to you lol, like - I don’t think people are thinking hard enough about what this future is likely to look like.

Well, someone (a human being) still maintains it, and ultimately someone likely will find the code unmaintainable even if LLMs help. If you use ChatGPT enough you would know it has its standards as well, actually pretty high. At one point the code likely still needs to be refactored, by human or not.

Crazy that people say shit like this without seeing a problem with it.

It’s really not a problem at a certain point. Also, we’ll probably have “remove and replace” but for software in the next couple years with this stuff.
