In the context of what I was replying to:

Learning from LLM written code is significantly and meaningfully different from struggling on your own or learning from more experienced human co-contributors. Especially in a large, complex, iteratively developed codebase.

Worse, once you're in that situation you are now at the juxtaposition of: "I did this. I understand what my reasoning was, and now I know why it is wrong and how to fix it" vs. "An LLM did this, I don't know why it did this, I'm not sure what it was trying to do or what pattern it followed and I'm not sure how to make it better because I didn't write or understand the original implementation either"

Is it impossible to learn and gain experience this way? Not at all. But it's definitely not equivalent.
