    Based FOSS but id take the claims of coding ability with a entire salt mine, LLMs simply arent all that great in general at coding no matter what tech Bros try to tell you.

      It depends on the task and the specific LLM. My experience is that they can do a lot of things effectively nowadays, and they’re improving rapidly.

        They really cant, they’re good for boilerplate but thats about it. Every example of a AI heavy code base I’ve seen has been poorly optimised security hole ridden garbage.

          I can tell you for a fact that they can. However, even managing boilerplate and repetitive code is a huge benefit. Furthermore, these tools are great at combing through code bases and helping you find where you need to make changes in code. If you haven’t actually used these tools in a real project yourself then you don’t really know what they’re capable of.
