First of all, Lisp, Fortran and COBOL had been around most of the time when assembly was popular. Assembly was used because of resource constraints.
Secondly, you are not writing anything you get from an LLM. You prompt it and it spits out other people's code, stripped of attribution.
This is what children do: Ask someone to fix something for you without understanding the result.

I very much understand the result of code that it writes. But I have never gotten paid to code. I get paid to use my knowledge of computers and the industry to save the company money or to make the company money.
Do you feel the same way when you delegate assignments to more junior developers and they come back with code?
