       My company, against my stringent insistence, has recently greenlit developers to use certain llm "technologies" to "assist" with writing codeSince that time, I have received a number of code review requests for code that was completely nonsensical. Like, preprocessor defines guarding empty lines. A series of adjacent logging statements, each one using a different logging methodology. Code that doesn't even compile.Like, these are things that not even the greenest intern would do, and every one of these was from a very senior developer, at the "this code is ready to be merged into the project" phase. And even a cursory reading of the code reveals the problem.In the golden age before large language models, I would assume some kind of version control messup. However, every time I commented on the offensive code with a polite translation of "what the fuck is this shit", the response was "oh chatgpt lol"Kids, don't do LLMs
