This is a terrible take and you should really know better. It's not different than chastising people who use higher level programming languages or Dreamweaver to make a website instead of studying HTML.

We can all agree that e.g., setting down a person with no development experience and asking them to design a missile defense system for your country using natural language is a terrible idea.

We should all be able to agree that giving people a way to use natural language to build little apps, tools, and automations that solve problems nobody is going to build a custom solution for is a good thing.
