The Debian project is engaging in a debate and vote on whether large language model (LLM) tools may be used in the development of Debian, its distribution-specific code, and the project's website. The general resolution is currently being discussed leading into a vote on the subject.

Everyone I work with who uses LLMs more than a little bit hasn't gotten better at coding. They've just made bad code faster, with even less understanding.

It's something like a catch-22. The people smart enough to use them effectively don't need to. The people who aren't smart enough will misuse them.

I'm a professional software engineer. You seem to have drawn at least one nonsense conclusion
