www.xda-developers.com/linus-used-ai-bug-llm-critics-face-choice/LLMs suck at writing code, but they are absolutely amazing at reading code and finding bugs. I am firmly against the usage of LLMs to write anything, but they have a place as a diagnostics tool when verified by a human.

At my company we are currently moving to implement AI for exactly that. A cost effective review buddy.
Various developers have tried to use it for coding and I think apart for one time scripts or getting an initial structure generated, noone is convinced of AI.
