LLMs reliably avoid whole categories of bugs, some of them the most serious offenders in terms of impact.
To me it has become clear that LLMs will, on average, improve the code quality by a lot.
It was just 5 minutes ago that I prevented a Claude PR from introducing an incredibly obvious RCE bug into a codebase I maintain. The LLMs are no better than the people driving them. But those people spew out more code than ever before.
