The argument that I've heard against LLMs for code is that they create bugs that, by design, are very difficult to spot.

The LLM has one job, to make code that looks plausible. That's it. There's no logic gone into writing that bit of code. So the bugs often won't be like those a programmer makes. Instead, they can introduce a whole new class of bug that's way harder to debug.

This is a misunderstanding. Modern LLMs are trained with RL to actually write good programs. They aren't just spewing tokens out.

They are also trained with RL to write code to pass unit tests and Claude does have a big problem with trying to cheat the test or request pretty quickly after running into issues, making manual edit approval more important. It usually still tells what it is trying to do wrong so you can often find out from its summary before having to scan the diff.
