I can't tell you how many times I've seen people write shoddy ambiguous prompts and then blame the LLM for not being able to read their minds.

If you write a prompt with perfect specificity as to what you want done, an agent like "Github Copilot+Claude" can work at about the same level as a senior dev. I do it all day long. It writes complex SQL, complex algorithms, etc.

Saying it only does boilerplate well reminds me of my mother who was brainwashed by a PBS TV show into thinking LLMs can only finish sentences they've seen before and cannot reason thru things.
