The satellites can be seen with the naked eye. There's a visible pass over San Francisco tonight around 6:15 PM: https://james.darpinian.com/satellites/?special=starlink-lat...

The viewing window is actually pretty small. For most of the night the satellites are not visible because they are in Earth's shadow. There is an impact on astronomy but it is being overstated by journalists hungry for yet another "Big Tech bad" story.
