LLMs can generate code, but they still need to be prompted correctly, which requires someone who knows how to program beyond toy examples, since the code is going to have to be tested and integrated into running code. The person will need to understand what kind of code they're trying to generate, and whether that meets the business requirements.

Python is closer to C (third generation programming language). Excel is a higher level example. It still takes someone who knows how to use Excel to do anything meaningful.
