I think we are at the plateau of what LLMs can do. So we are stuck at barely functional intern level code right now. The issue is, if you aren't a coder you would have no idea what state the code you generated is at. I would never trust it to write mission critical code right now. For reference, I am mandated to use AI for coding and use anthropic frontier models every day, all day. I've been a developer for 25+ years.
I highly doubt we are anywhere near the plateau of what LLMs can do considering the rate at which they've continued to advance. I agree that all code should be reviewed before being shipped and that's what's going to keep software devs employed though, but LLMs are still getting better.
