In music terms, putting note patterns that would be considered overused tropes in jazz (that's why the ML model would so easily come up with them) on a hiphop beat, in cookie-cutter death-metal instrumentation and mix, arranged in trance buildup/break/release structure?

LLM might occasional fill certain gaps (like one programming subculture being completely ignorant about a certain approach that is well established in another), but from its perspective, a transfer like that would be more a failure to hit the target style than an achievement. It's like learning scala from stackoverflow vs learning php from stackoverflow: one leads you deep into monad fundamentalism, the other into "how can this be bad if it works???"



I'm concerned that quality of code is going to degrade further as a result of people leaning heavily on these technologies, despite any future improvement, it isn't the same as a human being giving something thought.


We're going to discover that a lot of code doesn't take much thought.


If you are ok with a lot of code, that doesn't take much thought.


The performance of Microsoft Teams suggests otherwise.
