    Another negative is liability.

    Let’s say your org providing, idunno, coding to control illumination for a smart facility.

    Let’s say the lighting doesn’t work, and as a result some one slips and dies. Let’s say it’s 50/50 of the code is at fault or not.

    Your org is now looking at liability in a wrongful death lawsuit.

    Even if you can argue that it was being used wrong, it’s still going to cost your org more than it would have to pay some one who’s a proper coder to do it.

      That’s the whole point I’m making. A “proper coder” can leverage a model without turning it lose on a whole code base and saying “just fuck my shit up”.

      You write the logic for a panel and you need to add a centered button in a UI? Done. You need to grab the proper tar flags for data repackage and transport? Done. You need to actually devise a scalable framework for an finite state machine capturing failure modes? Hooray, you now have time to just focus on that, it’s a bad use case for a LLM. This is what you pay real people for.
