> I don't really think LLMs have done that much to change the actual situation around ability/outcomes

from my own experiences and many others I have seen on this site and elsewhere, I'm not sure how anyone could conclude this.

> it doesn't seem to me like it's actually leveling up mediocre programmers to "very good" ones

Oh well then if this is your metric then maybe your take is correct, but not relevant? From the top level comment I thought we were talking about the bar being lowered for building something thanks to AI and you don't need to become any better at being a programmer to do so.
