The dangers of relying on LLMs
It's like I say about Picasso. Most people if asked to be honest think his later work sucks. BUT if you look at his earlier work you can see he had talent to do realism.

My observation is that ChatGPT for example provides good code but often does things like delete sections of code or use variables or methods that just do not exist. If you don't actually know what you are doing and don't actually understand coding, you will basically make something that is inherently buggy and full of security holes.
