Fully agree.
Unfortunately many people would rather spin the wheel for a chance to win magically produced functioning code, rather than doing the work themselves with sure results - even if it takes the same or more time. And the kind of current politicians there are around the world proves that most people don't give a fuck about the ice-caps (though I would also argue that it's not so much the random person calling an LLM that is poisoning the waters - even though it does have a non-negligible effect -, rather it's massive sociopaths in charge of the companies creating LLMs that are perfectly fine with destroying the environment and other people's money in a vain dream of being the owner of some kind of "new order")
