The question is not whether you can create software using LLMs - you can (most software is just boring CRUD shit).
But you do pay a hefty price: In lowering quality (security issues, less maintainable), in skill decay in the people "guiding" the stochastic parrots, etc.

It's not "can 'AI's create software" but "are we willing to accept worse software running more and more of our lives?"
