I have a similar take. As yet I'm unconvinced by claims that using an LLM and correcting the output is faster than just writing the code. What happened to "reading code is harder than writing it"? With an intern or very junior developer you have hope that in a few months/years time they'll be reducing rather than adding to your workload. With an LLM, either you're using it for really rote or boilerplate tasks (fair enough) or you spend so much time looking for subtle errors that it's not worth it. Plus, much less fun than actually crafting something yourself.
