Agreed, rewriting standard functions is much worse than using standard tools that already exist.

In addition to the extra boilerplate and reduced readability, that also sounds like an easy way to introduce subtle bugs. Standard library functions have been exhaustively field tested, a similar looking LLM generated function could easily include a footgun.



Sure, but have you tried to introduce a new standard tool in the stdlib?

It's not a fun process.

Writing the code is the easy part.

And installing more-itertools for one functions is a bit silly
