It ultimately doesn't matter whether this type of code falls into your definition of boilerplate. As you admit, it's not interesting code that anybody wants to write. It's not intellectually engaging, it's not enjoyable to regurgitate it time and again, and it needs to be written.

I suppose if you want to spend all your mental energy fighting with an LLM and telling it “no, that’s not quite right, why did you make more work for yourself when there was a much easier way to do it”, that is certainly one way to spend precious mental energy. It does seem to be a common pattern that many people have already shared, where they spend lots of time fixing what the LLM generated, and many report that it sucks all the enjoyment out of the creative process.

You didn't actually bother reading the article in the submission did you?

LLMs are dead labor. They destroy the future of young engineers and replace with a parody that makes similar mistakes, has to be corrected, just like a junior engineer, but there is no life in it. Just a simulation of one. It destroys joy.

That's certainly your opinion, and it's quite obvious that there is absolutely nothing I could say to change it.
