I believe they meant that the cost of using an LLM is extremely high! There are reports of people spending USD $500~1000 a day! There's the possibility of decoupling of effort and output! Which causes an illusion of work.

What kind of problems do people solve that require this amount of money per month, let alone per day?

Is anyone reviewing the output of the generated work (PRs, docs etc)?

No, and nobody is going to find it when the guy from a third world village using a fake name that they hired to vibecode features puts a bitcoin miner in one of his daily 10k line agentic PRs.
