To me the difference is humans (ideally) will learn when they build something in a non-optimal way, and so will improve over time to become a competent engineer / architect. We cannot be perfect but to me a huge part of life is learning from failure and improving yourself, something that LLMs short-circuit and cannot replace.

LLMs cannot truly learn and so are destined to produce whatever the "average" software looked like at their training cutoff, or worse to produce code based on _other_ LLM generated code.

Ouroboros eat your heart out

I worked there for 3 years as a graduate and I can absolutely agree with this comment, the guilt of knowing my project (which was a failure from start to finish) was funded by taxpayer money drove me away from the company and made me swear to never work at another big consultancy again.

CLI tools for online services like Jira etc. basically amount to an open and documented API which the attitude towards these probably unlikely to be changing anytime soon as you mention.
