Feser police means less time for policing. Officers must spread themselves thinner: policing per se, performing investigations and going to court, among other duties.

While we know how to write code for LLMs, we don't understand LLM technology: when it works and when it doesn't. (We don't understand human intelligence either, of course, which doesn't help.)
