Sometimes you can, sometimes you have to break the problem apart and get the LLM to do each bit separately, sometimes the LLM goes funny and you need to solve it yourself.
Customers don't want you wasting money doing by hand what can be automated, nor do they want you ripping them off by blindly handing over unchecked LLM output when it can't be automated.
there are other ways: being scammed by lazy devs using AI to produce what devs normally do and not saving any money for the customer. i mentioned it in another thread, i heard first hand people say "i will never report how much time savings i get from gemini, at best i'll say 1 day a month"
If you produce the same product, then you get to ask for the same pay. That's not a scam.
If enough people can make the product faster, then competition will drive the price down. But the ability to charge less is not at all an obligation to charge less.
Depends what the problem is.

If the client is happy, the code is well-formed, and it solves their problem is a cost-effective manner, what is not to like?
cause the 'dev' didn't solve anything
ultimately i wonder how long people will need devs at all if you can all prompt your wishes
some will be kept to fix the occasional hallucination and that's it
Yes?
