More importantly, you can read diffs.

Depending on whether I'm using LLMs from my Emacs or via a tool like Aider, I either review and manually merge offered modifications as diffs (in editor), or review the automatically generated commits (Aider). Either way, I end up reading a lot of diffs and massaging the LLM output on the fly, and nothing that I haven't reviewed gets pushed to upstream.

I mean, people aren't seriously pushing unreviewed LLM-generated code to production? Current models aren't good enough for that.
