I would say this does not work in any nontrivial way from what I've seen.

Even basic scripts and UI components are fucked up all the time.

It can still fuck it up. And you need to actually read the code. But still a time saver for certain trivial tasks. Like if I'm going to scrape a web page as a cron job I can pretty much just tell it here's the URL, here's the XPath for the elements I want, and it'll take it from there. Read over the few dozen lines of code, run it and we're done in a few minutes.

You have to learn how and where to use it. If you give it bad instructions and inadequate context, it will do a bad job.

This is the ‘you’re holding it wrong’ of LLMs.

"All the time"?

This always feels like you're just holding it wrong and blaming the tool.
