We now even have people like Linus Torvalds making the fairly reasonable argument that an LLM is just a tool, and “clearly a useful one”

Appeal to authority. See this response.

I'd like to add that I've seen nothing from Linus saying he uses it to produce code, just to poke and prod it to find vulnerabilities. I see no issues with using it that way.
