This isn’t true. You can train LLMs entirely on synthetic data and get strong results. [0]

You can describe the semantics to a LLM, have it generate code, tell it what went wrong (i.e. with compiler feedback), and then train on that. For an example of this workflow in a different context, see [1].

Most competent LLMs can trivially describe what some code does and speculate on the reasoning behind it.

I don’t disagree that they’re flawed and imperfect, but I also do not think this is an unassailable state of affairs. They’re only going to get better from here.
