Why is this line of thinking so common with AI folk? Is it just inconceivable to you that other people have different experiences with a technology that has only become widespread in the past couple years and that by its very nature is non deterministic?
For what it's worth, I basically accept the premise of the GP comment, in the same way that I would accept a statement that "loggers who don't use a chainsaw will be put out of business". Sure, fine, whatever.
I still think the tone is silly and polarizing, particularly when it's replying to a comment where I am very clearly not arguing against use of the tools.
It assumes the result though. These comments presuppose that LLMs are universally good and useful and positive when that is the very argument that is being debated, and then uses the presupposition to belittle the other side of the debate.

No
They can be good but people spend more time fighting them and throwing up imaginary walls and defending their skillset rather than actually learning how to use these tools to be successful.
