Depends if the cost to weed out the new problems it introduces outweighs the value of the problems solved.
To be clear this is me making the most generous case for LLMs, which is that some people really do just want a shitty app to check a box. In my experience fixing LLM-produced software is worse than just writing it from scratch.
I think LLM writing replacing actual authors or AI "art" is fundamentally worthless though, so at least coding is worth more than "worthless"
