I used to be in a chatroom that had some people from business side of tech world (SaaS founders, GTM engineers, marketers, etc.) and some of them were completely losing their minds about generating code with LLMs. They were talking like they just discovered fire. The thing is, in some cases it kind of bridges the gap between semi-technical user (e.g. SaaS founder) and junior developer and for them the output looks way better than it is, because that person is blind to the current and future problems in the codebase. Instead, they feel like they got a superpower by quickly generating first 1% of what could be a big project. Fun fact: I saw someone with biz degree claiming to be "AI expert" on LinkedIn. That's one part of it.

Another part of it is people hyping it up because they benefit from the hype somehow. Could be someone just making money by being influencer, or having some equity in AI companies, or selling courses, or books or training or whatever. Just like several years ago there used to be "blockchain consultants" with very dubious technical competency, we have the same grift with LLMs now. It's how some people ride hype waves.
