If you can read the code it writes and modify it, a project manager can remove that time from you and take the AI slop direct to production.
Another good reason to never let the company's project become your project.
That's a different problem. The original question was when would a competent dev use an LLM.
Which the answer is: never. If they did, by definition they would not be competent (unless they are being specifically trained in how to avoid code slop).
