> One thing I fear is going to happen when more and more people use LLM's for coding is that they will default to the "average taste" of the LLM, and we will stop getting new interesting ideas about how to build things. I don't think it will have any impact at all on creativity in coding. Creativity is rewarded in humans, just not by their employment where both training examples and monetary rewards can be found, rather the creativity is rewarded by challenges such as code golf, demoscene, and so on. Go to a job interview and I have to know the shibboleths of Clean Code, SOLID, an arbitrary one of five frameworks, three different ways to handle asynchronous code, and four design patterns, and the magic word "agile". Invent something new at the workplace? If you're in a small team, or high enough in the hierarchy, fine. Big team? People will reject it with reference to those same shibboleths.
