This makes for a good sound bite but it's just not true. The use case of "show me what is a customary solution to <problem>" plays exactly into LLMs strength as a funny kind of search engine. I used to (and still do) search public code for this use case to get a sense of the style and idioms common in a new language/library and the plausible set of tokens is doing exactly that.
