Are LLMs capable of writing *good* code? - eviltoast

By “good” I mean code that is written professionally and concisely (and obviously works as intended). Apart from personal interest and understanding what the machine spits out, is there any legit reason anyone should learn advanced coding techniques? Specifically in an engineering perspective?

If not, learning how to write code seems a tad trivial now.

    I think this is the best response in this thread.

    Software engineering is a lot more than just writing some lines of code and requires more thought and planning than can be realistically put into a prompt.
