I'd also add that, depending on the language, the ways you can shoot yourself in the foot are very subtle (cf C++/C, which are popular languages for "secure" stuff).

It's already hard to not write buggy code, but I don't think you will detect them by just reviewing LLM code, because detecting issues during code review is much harder than when you're writing code.

Oh, and I assume it'll be tough to get an LLM to follow MISRA conventions.

Definitely. That's what I was trying to drive at, but you said it well.
