Libraries can be audited. LLM generated code cannot.

Yes it can, its literally still code.

I know it’s code. You are missing the point.

Any library with a critical user mass is auditable, because a fraction of those users would take the time to do so, whereas all LLM generated variations of the same library cannot and will never be auditable.

That's literally not what you said, you said "LLM code can not be auditable" which is demonstrably wrong.

Go ahead and move the goal posts though.

You missed the context. I don’t blame you.

Tell me how in hell are you going to audit every single variation of code generated by a LLM, that's equivalent to a whole library. I'll wait.
