@kees @josh @silverwizard @ossguy @bkuhn @karen @wwahammy It just needs to output more code than there are humans that can maintain it and we lost.
So basically as long as those LLM are free or almost free, we are doomed.
We can have OpenSource LLM we just have to give up copyright. Kinda of issue tho.

And that's so true.
It's the same with math and a calculator, but a calculator isn't subscription based. Which in my opinion is the real issue. -

That said without bounds this will definitely not be the default and yes what you said will happen.
Although with the current rate things are going, a LLM will probably be able to rewrite a complete program source-code and re-format it in anything that is currently possible...Which is way worse for FOSS.
