It's transparent to large-enough LLMs given enough resources. Which is the thing that was always true. The difference now is that the level of resources is lower, so we're finding a bunch of things it wasn't previously economical to find.

But the cost still isn't zero. On top of that, the same LLMs are now generating enormous volumes of new code, which both nobody has verified to that level of exaction and nobody has even considered how it interacts with existing and other new code.
