I'm no longer even confident in modern LLMs to do stuff like convert a table schema or JSON document into a POCO. I tried this the other day with a field list from a table creation script. So it had to do was reformat the fields into a dumb C# model. Inexplicably it did fine except for omitting a random field in the middle of the list. Kinda shakes your confidence in LLMs for even the most basic programming tasks.
More and more, for tasks like that I simply will not use an LLM at all. I'll use a nice, predictable, deterministic script. Weirdly, LLMs are pretty decent at writing those.
