I (and several other people I know) have observed that autism-spectrum people are more averse to LLMs than NT people.
It was pointed out to me that for NT programmers, LLMs turn a necessary intermediate step – structuring your thinking so it's suitable for writing code – into something that has "productive output". I can see how if you need to do that extra thinking, a tool that "helps" with it can be useful.
Likewise, it's hard to see the value in something that does work I don't need to do.
