I remember working with people like this before AI and it was annoying but they struggled with productivity because they didn't understand what they were working on enough to produce good code efficiently, so the problem usually took care of itself.

Now these people can thrive because LLM coding encourages the incurious and punishes the deep thinker.

At least to me, before LLMs, those people could somewhat be trained. You could give them feedback, and they would improve and learn the code.

Now your feedback is just another prompt for them, the code might be slightly better, but the person learned nothing from it.
