Agreed.

perhaps 1% of the time I've asked an LLM to write code for me, has it given me something useful and not taken more time than just writing the thing myself.

It has happened, but those instances are vastly outnumbered by it spewing out garbage that I would be professionally embarrassed to ever commit into a repo, and/or me repeatedly screaming at it "no, dumbass, I already told you why that isn't a solution to the problem"
