People talk about completey different things. The article was about Google using LLM-s to generate code, not people making 80 lines with them at home. There is a huge difference. I don’t see any problem with the latter, but with the former there are many problems.
Moreover Claude can explain the functions used very clearly (if you're too lazy to jump to definition in your editor)
LLMs are becoming actually useful to developers new to a language. Just as Google was 20 years ago.
