alt Hacker NewsDevil's advocating here... is human code deterministic and reproducible? If I am assigned some non-trivial task, and write it twice with a week in-between, the code is not going to be identical, though it will meet the requirements. Or, if you give 3 different senior devs the same task on the same day, they will all be different, but still meet the requirements. What is different about asking an LLM to write code?
Well, for one thing, a human actually understands what he's doing. He isn't just generating something plausible based on statistics. As a result he makes fewer mistakes, can catch his own mistakes, and can learn from those mistakes.
