Again I do not suggest giving AI control. Don't let it edit your code. Just give it what it needs to know to discuss and help construct code to review and insert by hand. You have full control and enjoy the benefits LLMs bring. Everything else is just asking for trouble.

    That's the thing, I don't think LLMs bring many benefits. Too many lies, and so on.

    I think most people are too trusting and have a political agenda to hate AI for all the obvious reasons. But it solves a few very central problems for me reasonably well and people don't get to decide what I spend my money on. AI is neither the miracle dream future not the word ending scam people make it out to be. Using a tool still takes skill and angrily screaming people down (not you) won't change that AI is here to stay. I don't like calling it AI, for all the reasons. But deep learning and LLMs are a useful technology in many regards. No doubt about it.
