Not sure: The LLMs seem to be okay at coding recently but still horrible at requirements and interface design. They never seem to get the perspective right.
One example I recently encountered: The LLM designed the client/consumer facing API from the perspective of how it's stored.
The result was a collection of CRUD services for tables in a SQL db rather than something that explained the intended use.

Good for storage, bad for building on it.
