Terrence Tao is an exception in many regards. I’m less concerned if it helps him, and more interested in how it affects the average person, since the vast majority of users will be average.

Tao can use LLMs on his own terms, on his conditions. Under those circumstances, it's an absolutely fantastic tool.

In an enterprise, everyone gets to use LLMs. Everyone can create slop. In an enterprise environment, this can lead to weird situations where the senior has to put in extra efforts to contain the slop of others... so I can kind of see where the "hinders seniors" is coming from.
