In my opinion that's not the framing the article uses. It just says "I’m currently pulling together a bunch of sources – that are mostly recent – on the topic of LLMs and their use in software development.".

Leaving out any ethical concerns for that basic framing seems like a pretty notable choice, so I thought it was worth pointing that out.
