    Yes, debugging with an LLM is absolutely as bad as murder. Probably worse! \s

      LLM code can cause deaths (i.e. in hospital software), or otherwise great human or material loses (i.e., bank software or a shelter’s software), or even cultural loses (it actually does them right now, but you can also think about i.e. a museum software).
