Code examples generated by LLMs CANNOT work without supervision and review of an experienced engineer.

While the code generated by AI is generally garbage, I would note that it often has better-than-human debugging ability. If you copy-paste a function that isn't working, it can often figure out what you were trying to do and then explain what you are doing wrong and how to fix it.

That is the point..

AI is a useful tool for many professionals to have on their toolkit..

But it is not even close to replacing those professionals like many have being claiming..
