It doesn't, that's ego-preserving cope. Saying that this stuff doesn't work for "damn well near every professional" because it doesn't work for you is like a thief saying "Everybody else steals, why are you picking on me"? It's not true, it's something you believe to protect your own self-image.
It works fine for me, because I don't trust to to do anything more than line changes, self-contained prototypes or minor updates. I've seen what happens when people give llms full control over authoring, and it has never worked out. Just look at the dumpster fire spotify has become. Its a buggy mess that barely works and is openly touted as being primarily llm developed at present.
point me towards something complex which llms have contributed towards significantly without massive oversight where they didnt fuck things up. I'll eat my words happily, with just a single example.
