Being able to use an LLM turns a layman into a coder no more than being able to use CAD turns them into an engineer.
It's a real pity that LLMs seem to have taken over as the sole topic of discussion in programming communities such as this one. It might be just me, but I find the whole topic barely interesting at all (ie. not more interesting than the discussions about stackoverflow coding we used to have).
Perfect analogy.
I am 100% with you. I am so sick of LLM shit clogging up the feed
