Even where they are not directly using LLMs to write the most critical or core code, nearly every skeptic I know has started using LLMs at very least to do things like write tests, build tools, write glue code, help to debug or refactor, etc.

Your statement suffers not only from also coming only from your brain, with no evidence that you've actually tried to learn to use these tools, but it also goes against the weight of evidence that I see both in my professional network and online.

I just want people making statements like the author to be more specific how exactly the llms are being used. Otherwise they contribute to this belief that llms are a magical tool that can do anything.

I am aware of simple routine tasks that LLMs can do. This doesn’t change anything about what I said.

All you had to do is scroll down further and read the next couple of posts where the author is being more specific on how they used LLMs.

I swear, the so called critics need everything spoon fed.

Sorry, but we're way past that. It's you who need to provide examples of tasks it can't do.

You need to meet more skeptics. (Or maybe I do.) In my world, it's much more rare than you say.
