If you follow antirez's post history, he was a skeptics until maybe a year ago. Why don't you look at his recent commits and judge for yourself. I suppose the majority of his most recent code is relevant for this discussion.

I don't think I'd be a good judge because I don't have the years of familiarity and expertise in his repos that I do at my job. A lot of the value of me specifically vs an LLM at my job is that I have the tribal knowledge and the LLM does not. We have gotten a lot better at documentation, but I don't think we can _ever_ truly eliminate that factor.
