TLA+ was invented in the first place because we Leslie Lamport thought natural language was a dubious tool for "specifying systems".

Yes an LLM may generate the TLA+ code even correctly, but model checking is not the end goal of TLA+

TLA+ plus is written to fully under how a system works at an abstract level.

Anyways, I guess you could just read the LLM generated TLA+ code. That would help you understand the abstraction of the system — but is the LLMs abstraction equal to your abstraction.

But vibe coded TLA+ sounds extremely dangerous especially in mission critical stuff where its required like Smart Contracts, Pacemakers, Aircraft software etc
