A compiler that can turn cash into improved code without round tripping a human is very cool though. As those steps can get longer and succeed more often in more difficult circumstances, what it means to be a software engineer changes a lot.
LLMs may occasionally turn bad code into better code but letting them loose on “good” or even “good enough” code is not always likely to make it “better”.
