I have been programming as a hobby for almost 20 years. At least for me, there is huge value using LLM's for code. I don't need anyone else's permission, nor anyone else to participate for the LLM's to work for me. You absolutely can not say that about blockchain, nft, or crypto in general.
There is certainly real market penetration with LLMs. However, there is a huge gap between fantasy and reality - as in what is being promised vs what is being delivered and the effects on the economy are yet to play out.
