   I'm curious ... how would they even know?

      Yeah, I wonder which part of this figure is people doing "let me ask the LLM to do X... aw shucks, that's not how you do X you dumb clanker, fine, I'll do it myself" and not deleting the metadata left by the LLM in the initial draft (a very common scenario in my personal experience). Or people using LLMs for "dumb" large scale changes instead of conjuring an ad-hoc grep+sed script.
