alt Hacker NewsLLMs absolutely do not exceed the abilities of junior devs. They don't even meet that bar, let alone exceed it. Junior devs are capable of getting syntax right without someone going "hey you messed that up". LLMs are not. Junior devs get basic logic right. LLMs do not.
Comparing an LLM to a senior developer is an absolute joke.
1. Which LLM are you using that is “not capable of getting syntax right”?
2. Are you referring to without having a compiler or LSP check it? Although even then, the recent LLMs I've used still frequently get syntax right, whereas I'd expect juniors are often relying on a LSP or compiler to catch mistakes when they first write a code block?
