I don't know. LLMs are great at writing code; but you have to have the right ideas to get decent output.

I spend tons of time handholding LLMs--they're not a replacement for thinking. If you give them a closed-loop problem where it's easy to experiment and check for correctness, then sure. But many problems are open-loop where there's no clear benchmark.

LLMs are powerful if you have the right ideas. Input = output. Otherwise you get slop that breaks often and barely gets the job done, full of hallucinations and incorrect reasoning. Because they can't think for you.
