I've wondered about this too. The LLM could just write machine code. But now a human can't easily review it. But perhaps TDD makes that ok. But now the tests need to be written in a human readable language so they can be checked. Or do they? And if the LLM is always right why does the code need to be tested?

At a certain point I don't see why a human needs to be in the loop at all. But I suppose that's the most dystopian part of it all.
Maybe the human has the money.
The LLM might be terrible at writing machine code directly. The kinds of mistakes I see GPT-4 making in Python, PostScript, or JS would be a much bigger problem in machine code. It "gets confused" and "makes mistakes" in ways very similar to humans. I haven't had a chance to try DeepSeek R1 yet.
