Take a look at a sufficiently old random internal repo which was not written with LLMs and compare.

My observation is that they are equally bad and hard to maintain or even more so than the new ones.

One thing I’ve noticed is that the LLM assisted ones have a lot more comments which is nice but take more time to read.

Yes, LLMs generate technical debt.

And they do it faster than any human developer.
