LLM code is obvious to spot. If an LLM designed a screwdriver set it would make a screwdriver for each head instead of making a replaceable head.

LLMs are superhuman at short term coding such as debugging and writing tests though and you're missing out by not using them there.

So... basically an autocomplete to help you type faster and spot check if you did something unusual in the parts you wrote by hand?
