I agree with what I think you're implying, but if it needs to be started explicitly: converting a 100% handwritten, high quality repo to an different language via LLM should be trivial, because all of the hard parts have been reasoned through, and yet these conversions had mistakes, which is unimpressive. Rectifying the mistakes is non-trivial, and the LLMs did not have foresight to rectify them in advanced. (Expectant "you're right, I [sic] did completely fuck that up")
That said, I don't know if it matters at this point.... On top of Brandolini's law (mentioned elsewhere), what's more likely to happen is that developers' intellect, made available in open source, is just going to be harvested as context for different projects (I'm not taking about training data, I'm taking about devs literally cloning repos into an agent to harvest intellect).
