You get some superficial checking by the compiler and test cases, but hallucinations that pass both are still an issue.


Absolutely, but at least you have some lines of defence while with real world info you have nothing. And the most offending stuff like importing a package that doesn't exist or using a function that doesn't exist does get caught and can be auto fixed.


Such errors can be caught and auto-fixed for now, because LLMs haven't yet rotted the code that catches and auto-fixes errors. If slop makes it into your compiler etc., I wouldn't count on that being true in the future.
