@inthehands The one report of LLM-generated / LLM-using code that I found most striking was from Jon Udell, related to generating an app for converting a photograph of an event flier into a useful calendar entry.

Partly it was striking because Udell has been a long-term advocate and a developer of community-run local information resources including calendaring, which have mostly been absorbed by Big Social Media.

The app combines small deployment scale and low cost of error (hand-fix the calendar) with toil reduction around composing APIs -- and makes something possible by making it easy. Not an app I'd want to maintain for others, but a technique for bringing tedious things in reach, so they happen on a relevant time scale.
