> LLMs aren’t exactly known for writing extremely optimized code.

They are trained on everything, and as a result write code like the Internet average developer.

The average developers suck. The distribution is also unbalanced. It is bulkier on the low-skill side.

Great UIs are written by above average or even exceptional developers. Such experience is tied to the real-life reasoning and combining unique years-long human experience of interacting with the world. You need true general intelligence for that.

That is the point I was making, but I suppose that may not have been clear. Thanks for expanding.

Is that really how it works - everything is just weighted equally? I would hope there would be at least some kind of tuning, so <well-regarded-codebase> gets more weight than <random-persons-first-coding-project>? If not, that seems like an opportunity. But no idea how these things are actually configured.

Before post training (GPT3 2020 class models). Post training makes it no longer act like the average.
