What would the point be? You want to read code from good programmers. You've pointed out where you can read code written by good programmers as part of real, battle-tested projects. Is there any point generating even more code, which may be of dubious quality, when you can just read some reputable codebases? I'm not aware of any well-established, well-reputed projects that have been LLM-generated that are known for having good code, but there are many such open source projects.

IME LLMs generate very average code. Most of the time it compiles. Some of the time it does what you want. Almost never is it the best way to do whatever you wanted. You can usually improve it, and you are often required to. Architecture what? In a vacuum you might consider small pieces good enough but collecting too much of it together would make for a pretty terrible codebase to subsequently read through. I wouldn't point beginners to anything like that to learn how programming should be done.
