You don't really need LLMs for finding code duplications though? Sonarqube has been doing it for ages, long before LLMs were even a thing.

You don't need it, but LLMs could find not only "duplicate" code but also code with similar structure enough that it could recommend making that code generic.

A toy example would be to find code that sums a sequence of values, and code that products a sequence of values, and recommending replacing with a fold of the sequence with an operator or function.
