I don't know who you're talking to, but the issue is increased volume of lines of code without any increase in quantity (or often, a decrease). That's the definition of "code slop" as I see it used, and you seem to have created a strawman to beat on here.

Allowing people who have absolutely no idea about what they're doing to create and release a software product will produce more "code slop", just like AI produces more "article slop" on the internet.

I don't understand the distinction you are trying to draw between your two examples. Instance #1 happens constantly, and is encouraged in many cases by management who have no idea what programmers do beyond costing them a lot of money.

You can internally discredit whomever or whatever you like, but it doesn't change the fact that LLMs currently add very little value to software development at large, and it doesn't appear that there is a path to changing that in the foreseeable future.

Agreed, Even with their prodigious ability to make boilerplate and maybe get one started in the general direction, they do so at the cost of turning you into an abject moron. So definitely not a net win, if any.
