I would never pay by the hour for LLM output. The expectation there is two-fold: 1. If LLMs are doing the work then why pay a consultant at all in the first place. 2. Secondly, I would expect the LLM output to cost just as much, or more, because it would require deeper code inspection and more thorough test automation cases. In my manually written code the test automation cases are there to account for future regression where in the LLM code the test cases to there to identify bounds checks against the requirements.
