I've been programming in python for over 20 years. An LLM creates code that sometimes works, but it definitely doesn't meet my standards, and there's no way I'd use the code since I couldn't support it. People who have less experience in Python might take that working code and just support that with their LLM, still having no clue what it does or why it works. That's probably fine for MVP but it won't stand up in the real world where you have to support the code or refactor it for your environment.

I tried to use an LLM to write a simple curses app - something where there's a lot of code out there, but most of the code is bad, and of course it doesn't work and there's lots of quirks. I then asked it to see if there are libraries out there that are better than curses, it gave me 'textual' which at first seemed like an HTML library, but is actually a replacement for curses. It did work, and I had some working code at the end, but I had to work around platform inconsistencies and deal with the LLM including outdated info like inline styles that are unsupported in the current version of the library. That said, I don't quite understand the code that it produced, I know it works and it looks nice, but I need to write the code myself if I want a deeper understanding of the library, so that I can support it. You won't get that from asking an LLM to write your code for you, but from you using what you learn. It's like any language learning. You could use google translate to translate what you want, and it may seem correct at first glance, but ultimately won't convey what you want, with all the nuance you want, if you just learned the language yourself.
