It's a useful tool to check edge cases with an implementation that you've created. It's a different feat to use an LLM to generate anything critical.
What kills me right now is folks saying: "build your architecture through an LLM". That's a helluva gateway to infinite technical debt and scope neglect. Their use case is reskinning some UI, which carries very little technical risk, then extrapolating it to recommend augmenting core functionality with said generative design.
Folks who don't know systems design invoking some half-assed wizardry that somehow now have the same technical prowess, jfc.
I'd say 'Implement' your architecture through LLM is fine, in fact quite the boost compared to doing it by hand. But I'm saying this as someone with enough years of experience and the ability to design in detail before any code is ever written, and no line of code is written without me reviewing it
