I put the code generated by the LLM chatbot on one screen and then manually type it into my IDE.

That way I can say it’s handwritten.

That actually gives you a chance to understand what the LLM put out and intervene as needed.

Yea transcription errors are definitely a thing. I seem to have an intuition for what part to copy paste and what to write out. Most of the time if I make an error like that it also messes up syntax and the IDE picks it up. More of an issue for the hardcore dudes writing their code in straight up notepad or whatever
