I get their point, but they are probably wrong. Not saying the AIs will not get better and better. They probably will, but I see a chance that there are smaller and smaller gains and the AIs cant make those gains happen. But coding with llm's doesnt say its shoddy code per se. I view it as: We used to use hand saws to make cabinets. Then we had tracksaws. Then we had CNC saws... You still need to understand woodworking to make a nice table in all these scenarios.

All those things (handsaws, tracksaws, CNC saws) are analogous to deterministic, clearly designed tools (assemblers, compilers, language servers). The jump to LLMs is a jump to a completely different category.
