Are LLMs capable of writing *good* code?

By “good” I mean code that is written professionally and concisely (and obviously works as intended). Apart from personal interest and understanding what the machine spits out, is there any legit reason anyone should learn advanced coding techniques? Specifically in an engineering perspective?

If not, learning how to write code seems a tad trivial now.

Writing code is probably one of the few things LLMs actually excell at. Few people want to program something nobody has ever done before. Most people are just reimplimenting the same things over and over with small modifications for their use case. If imports of generic code someone else wrote make up 90% of your project, what’s the difference in getting an LLM to write 90% of your code?

I see where you’re coming from, sort of like the phrase “don’t reinvent the wheel”. However, considering ethics, that doesn’t sound far off from plagiarism.

Ai is excellent at completing low effort ai generated Pearson programming homework while I spend all the time I saved on real projects that actually matter. My hugging face model is probably trained on the same dataset as their bot. It gets it correct about half the time and another 25% of the time, I just have to change a few numbers or brackets around. It takes me longer to read the instructions than it takes the ai bot to spit out the correct answer.

None of it is “good” code but it enables me to have time to write good code somewhere else.
