It's true, and I use LLMs for the vast majority of my development work. The thing I greatly disagree with the anti-LLM crowd is that they often act like usage of LLMs necessitates skill decay. I have learned so much more using LLMs than at any point in my career. Slopping out something as a way to get to a proof of concept for user feedback is a blessing. It really helps you go from a vague idea to a much clearer understanding of what you do and don't want to build. Scrapping the code from that prototype and then rebuilding it slowly and durably is now happening from a much more informed perspective. I think what I see as the demonic aspect is the lure of no longer needing to do the slow and durable work.
