What I don't like about this take is that it implies that it could be that way. It implies the LLM could do the job of writing, leaving the programmer to just approve it.
It sounds anti-LLM, but it actually helps support the illusion that LLMs can do more than they actually can.
I don't think an LLM can write serious software on its own. If it could, there would be some extraordinary evidence, but all there is are some people spreading rumours. If you ask them for simple evidence of comparable performance (like a video), they shy away or answer vaguely.
The thing is not there yet, and I understand the optimism of some, but I also must emphasize that it's not looking great for LLM coding enthusiasts right now. There's no amount of proselitism that can make up for the lack of substance in their claims. Maybe they can trick investors and some kids, but that's not going to cut it in the long run.
Therefore, this is not a problem. I don't need to worry about it. If (or when) some evidence appears, I can then worry about it. This hasn't happened yet.
