It’s really obvious from your comment you haven’t actually tried these tools. Frontier LLMs are in fact quite good about including error handling in code, especially if you ask them.

On the contrary: at my $DAYJOB they have enabled that crap and now I'm looking on the idiotic attempts of these LLMs to create something every time I write comment during code review.

Sometimes, when comment is about something trivial, like “we should use string_view here, not string, see totw #1” it even generates sensible code. But that's rarity. Most of the time it generates patent nonsense, because it doesn't understand what it does. It couldn't, there are no brain behind what it does.

They are pretty good at generating crap that looks sensible but doesn't work!

To the tune that when I see that change proposed is crap I just know that I have to contact privately to ask submitter to stop using that nonsense and write things by hand.

Unfortunately not every company have the rule that unreviewed code couldn't be accepted, I shudder to think about what this crazyness would lead to in companies that accept code without reviewing it.

I for one encourage my competitors to make full use of LLM code reviewers!

(Though, there will undoubtedly be regular collateral damage to society soon enough).
