No, I don't think a human is intelligent enough for that. Based on my
limited experience with people trying to learn how to use tools I'm the
upstream for I fully expect that human to go to -mentors and ask why the
tool or option proposed by the LLM doesn't exist (without mentioning where
do they get that) or even why does the d/control they wrote results in a
dpkg-source error about a not recognized field.
It's possible that probability of doing this is lower for people learning
packaging than for people learning a tool/langauge/framework in general,
but remember that a noticeable share of people learning packaging is
people who want to package their pet project.
