@matigo It would seem that there's more than one way to skin a cat when it comes to coding, and there might be several possible solutions to a given problem. Hence the need for a creative approach, and LLMs are kind of good at coming up with, well, something. I can see the value in wanting to get a second opinion on code using AI, too. I just don't think it's something you can rely on as the most effective route to finding your solution.
I'm sorry to hear of your experiences with South Asian devs that have acted dishonestly. I remember reading your complaints about them before. You are right to call them out. It must be very hard to find coders who know what they are doing and who also have good working principles.
As an aside, what do you mean by "COVID apologists"?
