Some of this is the funny situation where the faithful will state: "This writes better code than I do!" and miss the irony of: "yes, yes it does"

I guess it depends on what you consider "better". I've tried using LLMs to write code over the past couple of weeks with extremely mixed results.
The LLM certainly writes more interesting code! They like their cute ASCII/unicode animations, don't they?
It definitely writes a lot more code, none of it actually correct but some of it functionally similar to correct code.
If you like lots of code then I guess that's better. I like less code.
