It has been discussed ad nauseum. It demolishes learning curve all of us with decade(s) of experience went through, to become seniors we are. Its not a function of age, not a function of time spent staring at some screen or churning our basic crud apps, its function of hard experience, frustration, hard won battles, grokking underlying technologies or algorithms.

Llms provide little of that, they make people lazy, juniors stay juniors forever, even degrading mentally in some aspects. People need struggle to grow, when you have somebody who had his hand held whole life they are useless human disconnected from reality, unable to self-sufficiently achieve anything significant. Too easy life destroys both humans and animals alike (many experiments have been done on that, with damning results).

There is much more like hallucinations, questionable added value of stuff that confidently looks OK but has underlying hard-to-debug bugs but above should be enough for a start.

I suggest actually reading those conversations, not just skimming through them, this has been stated countless times.
