As I said, I don't reject LLMs for every situation (what you describe would probably fit the "iterative design" category). But as soon as this personal affair meets the wider world, inevitably becomes too big and transient to be thoroughly understood, and accelerates the rate of minimally-supervised code reviews sent to very human peers ; is where I have a bigger issue: individual convenience shouldn't incur more work and effort to others, nor become an increased risk to stakeholders.
It is in that sense that I see LLMs challenge "social contracts": their use is infectious (probably also in the GPL-sense, be warned) and should be agreed upon by all parties upfront (do you want to be on the receiving end of a software that you pay good money to have developed while knowing that its developers have little understanding of its workings? How many times cheaper is cheap enough to pay-off the amount of technical and institutional debt/risk? Can LLMs effectively become that cheap?).
