I think the problem with this one is that LLMs are somehow both unreasonably effective as well as unreasonably ineffective. Letting the code editor llms do their suggestions, I’ve gotten a ton of useless boilerplate garbage suggestions, but periodically, a couple times of day, it suggests blocks of code that are far more complete, comprehensive and correct than it has any right to be.

Whether you’ll get the high IQ or low IQ LLM on the next suggestion is a crapshoot; how much consideration you give to either outcome (focus on the random instances of brilliance, or the constant stream of bullshit) drives the final perception.
