Maybe, but you do have to do the work to train it first. And at least so far, LLMs always seem to be inarguably worse than the “original”.

True. But quantity has a quality of its own.
I'm personally delighted at the idea of outsourcing all the boring cookie cutter programming work to an AI. Things like writing CSS, plumbing between my database, backend server and web UI. Writing and maintaining tests. All the stuff that I've done 100 times before and I just hate doing by hand over and over again.
There's lots of areas where it doesn't really matter that the code it produces isn't beautifully terse and performant. Sometimes you just need to get something working. AIs can do weeks of work in an afternoon. The quality isn't as good. But for some tasks, that's an excellent trade.
