But LLMs have no long term future as a code generator really because we know you can&#39;t feed LLM generated data into an LLM and expect good results.<br/><br/>So eventually LLMs will have to stop writing code.

The generated commit messages are verbose, but also often wrong.<br/><br/>I would literally argue the opposite.
