Exactly that. LLMs generate a lot of simple and dumb code fast. Then you need to refactor it and you can't because LLMs are still very bad at that. They can only refactor locally with a very limited scope, not globally.

Good luck to anyone having to maintain legacy LLM-generated codebases in the future, I won't.

I’ve noticed LLMs quickly turn to pulling in dependencies and making complicated code

I'm sure they do great for scripts and other stuff. But the few times I tried, they always go for the most complicated solutions. I prefer my scripts to grow organically. Why automate something if I don't even know how it's done in the first place? (Unless someone else is maintaining the solution)
