I've had this debate before on HN. The excuses are generally "well it can write better code than most developers, but an LLM can't write better prose than most people" (I strongly disagree with this) and, what I think is at the heart of the matter, "text is for the reader to read directly, code is hidden." Or in other words, "as long as I can't tell it's AI, it's fine."
