    Can you elaborate on the last sentence a bit from a technical perspective? I’m not using code myself to the extent that I could really judge between LLM-generated code being good or just-works. I can just imagine compiler output being strictly deterministic, while LLM-code, due to the way a LLM works in principle, should be more …unstructured?

      I honestly didn’t think you could even audit an LLM. It is possible, but not in the same way you would audit code. It is my understanding, because of the probabilistic nature of how the LLM operates, you can get different results even within the same model. This makes tracing something like logic next to impossible. Why the LLM gave the result is somewhat of a mystery. It is in effect a black box. This may change in the future, but for now LLM suffers from this issue.
