This is like UB in compilers but 100x worse, because there's no spec, it's not even documented, and it could change without a compiler update.

It is nothing at all like UB in a compiler. UB creates invisible bugs that tend to be discovered only after things have shipped. This is code generation. You can just read the code to see what it does, which is what most professionals using LLMs do.
