Soon a capable LLM will have enough training material to spit out LLMs are atrophying coding skills / LLM code is unmaintainable/ LLM code is closing down opportunities for juniors / LLMs do the fun bits of coding pieces on demand.

A lot of these criticisms are valid and I recognise there's a need for people to put their own personal stake in the ground as being one of the "true craftsmen" but we're now at the point where a lot of these articles are not covering any real new ground.

At least some individual war stories about examples where people have tried to apply LLMs would be nice, as well as not pretending that the problem of sloppy code didn't exist before LLMs.

Certainly not remotely the same volume of sloppy code

Impossibly high volumes of bad code is a new problem
