Yet even for those Joe Normals, I kinda like the democratising effect that they’re now able to produce software, or modify existing software for their own use. Just don’t fool yourself into thinking it’s enterprise grade. Understand your limitations. And don’t spam open source projects with slop PRs because you think the AI makes you a software wizard.

I would think a siginificant portion of the population doesn’t possesses this sort of nuance.

Yeah, they clearly don’t. At the moment the downsides by far outweigh the upsides, but I keep hoping that eventually people will come to their senses.
