Spouting bullshit? If so, I agree.
Codebases in the 100k+ to 1m+ sloc can be very difficult for a LLM (or human) to answer detailed questions about. A LLM might be able to point you in the right direction, but they don't have enough context size to fit the code, let enough the capability to actually analyze it. Summarize? Sure, but it can only summarize what it has in context.
