> There is no substitute for high quality work.

That's where you get it wrong. The world is full of mediocre and low quality work in many, many fields. We all, in fact, depend on mediocre work in many ways.

Many, many people would prefer a solution with mediocre or even bad code than no solution at all while they wait for "high quality work" that never appears.

The magic of LLMs, especially as the technolgy improves, is that a truly mind boggling number of solutions to problems will be created with thoroughly mediocre (or worse!) LLM generated code. And the people benefitting from those solutions won't care! They'll be happy their problems are being solved.
