I don't want my doctor to vibe script some conversion only to realize weeks or months later it made a subtle error in my prescription. I want both of them to have enough fund to hire someone to do it properly. But wanting is not enough unfortunately...

Humans make subtle errors all the time too though. AI results still need to be checked over for anything important, but it's on a vector toward being much more reliable than a human for any kind of repetitive task.

Currently, if you ask an LLM to do something small and self-contained like solve leetcode problems or implement specific algorithms, they will have a much lower rate of mistakes, in terms of implementing the actual code, than an experienced human engineer. The things it does badly are more about architecture, organization, style, and taste.
