This is like watching weekend car tinkerers argue with Ferrari mechanics about their tooling. "I'm never going to write code ever again."
Most "developers" were busy cranking out low-end software before AI.
They never worked on large, complex software systems or in professional engineering orgs.
Lots of these people never would have made the grade, would have been cut, or forever juniors. Many were probably bitter about this.
Well now comes along AI..
That there is no lack of people delivering low quality using AI does not change this.

I like how you self-associate. Do you really belong to the first group, or is that what you think you are.
And as soon as an edge case pops up that your model will have never been able to hear about because it hasn't been released publicly, security vuln, whatever, you'll get a "fix" confidently hallucinated at you and be none the wiser.
There's going to be a huge pendulum swing with all the llm zombies and sanewashing it like this isn't helping anyone.
All of this just oozes junior engineer if you're even employed in the field at all.
It doesn't give you the right to insult my expertise, and frankly your arguments sound like things that one would make up despite little actual experience using AI to develop software.
That's probably the rare exception.
Even in finance everyone is using AI.
