I am not sure the Turing test has been passed or understood. Cromulent answers aren’t human ones.
LLMs enable me to write more code than I ever have and in languages I don’t know. It’s a wonder.
That said I grew up with an 8-bit machine buying games on cassette. There were never updates and rarely ever a serious bug.
Yes programs were tiny, but they were also handwritten in assembler. Quality has gone down in software with the advent of modern tools as surely as it has in furniture with the introduction of the table saw.
