It's just a tool like any other. An experienced developer knows that you can't apply every tool to every situation. Just like you should know the difference between threads and coroutines and know when to apply them. Or know which design pattern is relevant to a given situation. It's a tool, and a useful one if you know how to use it.

This is like applying a tambourine made of optical discs as a storage solution. A bit better cause punctured discs are no good.

A full description of what a program does is the program itself, have you heard that? (except for UB, libraries, ... , but an LLM is no better than a human in that too)
