The most immediately understandable example I heard of this was from a senior developer who pointed out that LLM generated code will build a different code block every time it has to do the same thing. So if that function fails, you have to look at multiple incarnations of the same function, rather than saying “oh, let’s fix that function in the library we built.”
Yeah, code bloat with LLMs is fucking monstrous. If you use them, get used to immediately scouring your code for duplications.
