Like anything in coding, it depends. LLMs are good at following conventions. If what you're doing has been done a 1000 times before and there is a good bias, it will produce good results. This is why LLMs are so good at the leafy parts and even the branches the leaves are connected to. But there's always something unconventional about a codebase. If there weren't, it wouldn't be worth writing.
