I feel the divide is between people who built something for the joy of building vs people who built something for the joy of consuming (like you). For you LLM’s are great, you can spend less time, effort and still enjoy all the stuff you wanted to enjoy. For someone who actually liked the process of building, LLMs don’t do anything except at worst muddy the market with AI generated slop that needs to be compared against, which will eventually be figured out I guess.

For the joy of building, I'd say LLMs are still great for questions, rapid-prototyping and code reviews. And, beyond that: Who cares what others do? Build what brings you joy. As @petecordell put it: "Telling a programmer there's already a library to do X is like telling a songwriter there's already a song about love."
