I think you are looking at llms in to large a context. Your issues you have with it are the same as search and if used as a further abstraction of search it is going to carry forward weaknesses. LLM’s trained more narrowly for specific purposes are going to do better if their narrow training data is of high quality rather than throwing everything at it.
I believe you are mistaken - I’m speaking about LLMs within the context of FOSS and coding as that’s the subject of OP’s post and the article they linked to. You may have thoughts about LLMs in general, but you don’t seem to be addressing their use (and abuse) when it comes to coding or giving them carte blanche when it comes access to FOSS repos. Because if you, as the article suggests, just bend over, you’re giving access to all LLMs, not just some hypothetical specially trained one.
