But LLMs aren’t people. And people do more than just generate code.

The comparison is weird and dehumanizing.

I, personally, have never worked with someone who consistently puts out code that is as bad as LLM generated code either.

How could you possibly know that?

All these types of arguments come from a belief that your fellow human is effectively useless.

It’s sad and weird.

I worked at four multinationals and saw a bunch of their code. Most of it wasn't "the top answer in stack overflow". Was some of the code written by some of the people better than that? Sure. And a lot of it wasn't, in my opinion.

Not at all. I think the top answers in stack overflow were written by humans, after all.

You are entitled to your own opinion, no doubt about it.
