No, the problem is they're still really dumb, and lack the ability to make logical connections that are obvious to us. "should I walk or drive to the carwash" being a very recent example of the larger problem.

But they are very good at identifying patterns though. This task requires little logic IMO. So why not leverage LLM to perform redundancy analysis?

They add and add new code to the point when adding more is going to become very messy and then spagetti

What I was suggesting is to ask the LLM to compare function usage across files to identify overlap/redundancy.

The idea is to use the LLM to analyse the code base first before taking any action.

I think I'm suggesting a centaur approach.
