    Libraries can be audited. LLM generated code cannot.

    Edit: to clarify, it is impossible to audit all LLM generated code across a number of projects, that would replace a single library. It simply won’t happen, because there will always be a non trivial number of users who will copy and paste code without inspecting it. In contrast, widely used open source libraries may be audited by a small subset of their users, and the rest would benefit from that.

        I know it’s code. You are missing the point.

        Any library with a critical user mass is auditable, because a fraction of those users would take the time to do so, whereas all LLM generated variations of the same library cannot and will never be auditable.

          That’s literally not what you said, you said “LLM code can not be auditable” which is demonstrably wrong.

          Go ahead and move the goal posts though.

            You missed the context. I don’t blame you.

            Tell me how in hell are you going to audit every single variation of code generated by a LLM, that’s equivalent to a whole library. I’ll wait.
