The hardware side doesn’t make sense as much anymore. I mean if we have these massive cloud datacenters for AI and people can’t even have disc copies then why

“The only people I've heard saying that generated code is fine are those who don't read it.” Are you sure these people aren’t busy working rather than chatting? (haha)

But in all seriousness it depends on what you’re doing with it. Writing a quick tool using an LLM is much easier than context changing to write it yourself. If you need the tool, that’s very valuable.

If you try to create a new iOS/macOS software project and sign it with a "com.apple." prefix in the bundle ID, Apple's system blocks it… for example.

It's pretty clear this type of ID'ing is an issue in general, unfortunately. Companies often protect themselves as a band-aid but not others in the same situations since the problems aren't frequent enough to warrant a design change. So, when it does become a problem, it could end up being a deep one.
