Just yesterday I made some notes about a program I'd like to write (hobby project, to be open sourced). After that, the thought of using an LLM to turn the notes into an implementation squished the joy right out of me.
The better the code generated by LLMs get, the less there is of an incentive to say "no". Granted, we're not nearly there yet (even though media reports and zealous tech bros say otherwise).
But - and this is especially true for organizations that already had a big code quality problem before the LLMs showed up - if the interpreter / compiler accepts the code and it superficially looks like it does what it should, there is pressure to simply accept it.
Why say no when we could be done now and move on!? Rubber-stamp it and let's go! Sigh. Maybe I'm overly pessimistic, reading the raves about LLMs every day grinds me down.
