They can automate repetitive tasks, generate code snippets, help with brainstorming, assist in debugging, ... and this can frees up engineers’ time and mental energy, which could be channeled into more complex, creative...

A key concern with LLMs lies in their training data.

The data can be biased, contradictory sometimes, but those data contain solutions to known problems.

If an engineer wants to “reinvent the wheel,” an LLM might offer a solution (good or bad, depending on the prompt). But when faced with truly novel problems, LLMs often provide unreliable responses,... See more
