Compilers don't take away the code we need to write; they translate it into a different formal language that emphasizes and de-emphasizes various aspects of its meaning.
LLMs are categorically a different thing. Instead of soundly translating between formal languages, they adjust how you interact with the formal language.
The enjoyment people get from coding has absolutely nothing to do with the pure volume of code they produce, to the point that this has long been a cliche!
