AI is definitely creating working software.
It's also leading people to submit hallucinations as security vulns in open source. I've had to deal with some of them.

Define "working". It's creating software that does what someone wanted some of the time, sure.
Look around you. Our industry has cultivated that this kind of software is everywhere.
It's... really just not, though

Nah, if that were true there would be a lot more new software available. What's it working at is making developers feel busy, which is itself a worthwhile task.
Maybe it's available but you don't realize it.
Maybe. Sounds like a real marketing failure in that case
There may be some other limiting factors on the rate of generation of new useful software. E.g. money to market it, humans to specify it, perhaps there's enough software already...
If there's enough software already than LLMs are the worst-timed invention in human history...
