Patterns aren't intended to "relieve humans from the tedium," they're to make the code more intelligible. Code generators create notoriously difficult to understand code. Apparently the current crop of LLMs are no better in that regard.

> find myself, for instance, writing more long form, boring configuration files that once upon a time I would have built some abstraction reduce the boilerplate and verbosity. But now that co-pilot can just auto-complete the next section for me, why bother?

Again, so humans can understand it more easily.
