Of all the (valid) downsides of LLMs, this is maybe the weakest one. I'm not even sure what would qualify as "new" for you.

Anything I've ever done at work could have been pieced together from StackOverflow. Anything you have ever done can most probably be pieced together from StackOverflow as well.

I sincerely doubt it; but I also work in an Org that has highly internal code with none to poor documentation.

Also, I never said it was a "downside". I'm simply stating that the author is exaggerating what the LLM is doing. It isn't creating novel code.

I used LLMs all the time to spit out boilerplate when it makes sense.
