You can fix bugs.
And it undoubtedly reduces the number of developers needed.
It doesn't replace all human coders yet. But a senior, super skilled engineer can now effectively do the task of a team of 10. This will be true for many teams that I have personally seen.
There will be exceptions, too. Not all teams work like that.
I can confidently say that LLMs will cause a reduction in number of developers required at least in the short term.
Factors that cause an increase in demand might propagate simultaneously in a greater rate and undo this but that is unlikely in my opinion.

Everyone loves to say this and yet I’ve never seen a single concrete example aside from toy demos. Here’s the thing: output is pretty easy to see. If one developer can 10x their output, that means they’re doing in a month what would take them nearly a year without AI. So, show me one example of an individual or team who has done a year’s worth of work in a month.
