That's because you try to look at LLM's as tools, and not as an intern.
LLM's are not deterministic, they can make mistakes, etc. You refuse to work with LLM's like you would work with interns, and then somehow you're frustrated that they don't work like a compiler?
Maybe shifting your expectations would solve a lot of your frustrations.
Look, every developer writes bugs. Me, you, everyone. There is no perfect developer that can churn out 100% quality code. That means you always have to take this into account. You are correct that I don't take compiler bugs into account, because they are very rare. But when working with LLM's, just take into account that it can go wrong, just like any human developer.
Basically, you have very fast and cheap interns at your disposal, with a huge amount of knowledge. Can you trust an intern? Of course not!
