No idea, but I am not sure your family member is qualified. I would estimate that a coding LLM can code as well as a fresh CS grad. The big advantage that fresh grads have is that after you give them a piece of advice once or twice, they stop making that same mistake.

Where is this coming from? I don't think an LLM can code at the level of a recent cs grad unless it's piloted by a cs grad.

Maybe you've had much better luck than me, but coding LLMs seem largely useless without prior coding knowledge.

What's this based on? Have you met a fresh CS graduate and compared them to an LLM? Does it not vary person to person? Or fuck it, LLM to LLM? Calling them not qualified seems harsh when it's based on sod all.
