Earlier quoted context omitted.

not enough people are emotionally prepared for if it’s not going wrong even in the slightest

It will not go wrong in obvious ways, LLMs are actually not that bad for language translation, and they have big test coverage; any issues will be non obvious. The question will be more long term maintainability, how fast will the whole thing collapse.

Why people say they have big test coverage while other say it segfaults a lot? I saw lot of JS test that this is just API surface test. Edge cases happens inside API implementation, things like memory leaks or data corruption that shows up after a while cannot be catched reliably with these tests.
