LLMs have the same value proposition as no-code or low-code tools, and they also have the same failure cases. With pre-AI no-code tools, they also lowered walls but they didn't remove the barriers. The experience was a lot like we're seeing from the "vibe coders", like this post here:

  "what's the point of vibecoding if at the end of the day I still have to pay a dev to look at the code anyway... I can't vibe my way through debugging, I can't ship anything that actually matters." [1]
That was the experience a lot of people had using no/low code tools, where you could make progress, but as soon as you hit a problem you are done, because overcoming it will require skills the no/low code don't teach or really support.

LLMs are only different because the interface is more accessible. But all the same problems are still there. AI is not a panacea.
