Lol, no. ML is not capable of writing extremely complex code.

It's basically like having a bunch of junior devs cranking out code that they don't really understand.

ML for coding is only really good at providing basic bitch code that is more time intensive than complex. And even that you have to check for hallucinations.

To reiterate what the parent comment of the one you replied to said, this isn't about chat GPT generating code, it's about using ML to create a indeterministic algorithm, that's why in the comic it's only very close to 12 and not 12 exactly.

LLM are not good for that, but Machine Learning as a whole does not have that limitation.

ML is not good for coding, it is good for approximately solving very complex problems.
