If my keyboard had some noticeable % chance of typing the G key when I hit the F key, I’d trash it in a heartbeat.

Yeah, guck that!

It's more like not using semi-autonomuous driving features with the car entirely relying on your expertise to realise and correct when it's making a mistake. The main difference is risk. Your own life at stake versus bugs in some production system.

But why are you pushing errors to production? You know you're allowed to fix the LLM's code output, right?

If a robot could paint your house, but made three small errors, would you refuse to use it? Or would you just fix the three small errors by painting over them?

There's some kind of John Henry complex going on in this AI discussion.

You're working under the assumption that you will be able to find the errors. I personally found reviewing code always way harder than writing it and we already push tons of bugs to production in written+reviewed code.

… If your keyboard is _introducing_ typos, _buy a new keyboard_.

yeah but I can type 300 wpm on this one

So… maybe I just do a different sort of software engineering to most people here, but is “how fast can I physically write code” _really_ the limiting factor in many cases?

it's not, but we're torturing an analogy here.
