You say that, but you have to remember that LLMs produce the average output of their training materials. Not the best, but the average. And there’s a lot of code out there that is simple. Only the outliers have the magic combination of conciseness AND quality AND complexity.
LLMs also have no understanding of context outside the immediate. Satire is completely opaque to them. Sarcasm is lost on them, by and large. And they have no way to differentiate between good and bad output. Or good and bad input, for that matter. Joke pseudocode is just as valid in their training corpus as dire warnings about insecure code.
I read a comment once that still rings true - “Hallucinations” are a misnomer. Everything an LLM puts out is a hallucination; it’s just that a lot of the time, it happens to be accurate. Eliminating that last percentage of inaccurate hallucinations is going to be nearly impossible.
