That probably depends on whether you consider LLMs, or human artists, as tools.

If someone uses an LLM to make code, is consider the LLM to be a tool that will only be as good as the person prompting it. The person, then, is the developer while the LLM is a tool they're using.

I don't consider auto complete, IDEs, or LSPs to take away from my being a developer.

This distinction likely goes out the window entirely if you consider an LLM to actually be intelligent, sentient, or conscious though.
