This is like the equivalent of forcing a monkey to wait tables, and then complaining when it takes a shit in the middle of the restaurant.
It's a language model. What did they expect? If they wanted a software engineer, they should have hired a software engineer. Everyone is more than welcome to use a random text generator to spit out code, but I have zero sympathy for those who complain because they don't like the random text it's generated.
They should have hired a software engineer to tell them that it’s less stupid to just hire a software engineer.
Managers don't take advice from the people they want to lay off.
