Is your position that code produced with LLMs is _worse_ than the average human developer working alone? I would be far happier if the software I am forced to use professionally had been produced by developers guided by LLMs.
But even if you are right, most software developers don't work on anything important and most don't care about the software they output. You're an enthusiast, which is very much an outlier in software development, and so maybe learning the fundamentals from logic gates is worth it to you (it was to me). LLMs can accelerate that learning immensely.
For the vast majority of people employed writing software, that's not true and forgoing LLMs will permanently stifle their employment prospects.
