(Usually) Yes. The LLM can generate three functions, over 100 lines of code, and I spend perhaps 15 minutes rearranging it so it pleases me aesthetically. It would've taken me an hour or two to write.

I find most benefit in writing tests for a yet-inexistent function I need, then giving the LLM the function signature, and having it implement the function. TDD in the age of LLMs is great!

I know what you’re saying, but I’m saving time by: * getting ideas for how logic etc could be implemented * boilerplate is a thing of the past

The other thing is that I have the LLM make the modifications I want.

I know how long it takes to get an extremely bad programmer to do what you want, but the LLM is far better than that, so I do come out ahead.

I believe this depends on the individual. For me, yeah, I am. But I do have colleagues who wouldn’t be.
