Absolutely true. The oldest devs I work with are some of the most enthusiastic about using LLM chat to develop. Among the younger devs, they all seem to use it but the amount that can actually produce working code are few.
Now I get a lot of calls from team asking for help fixing some code they got from an AI.. Overall it is improving the code quality from the group, I no longer have to instruct people on basics to set up their approach/solution. Will admit there is a little difficulty dealing with pushback on my guidance because e.g. “well chatgpt said I should use this library” when the core SDK already supports something more recent than the AI was trained on
