My experience was the opposite. I went in with absolutely no programming experience. It took me a week to figure out how to do the first problem set (boy are loops ever amazing).
CS50 got me interested enough in programming to pursue it as a career. I have a CS degree now, and work at a well known tech company.
I don’t think the audience is “people who know some programming already.” It is designed for absolute beginners and assumes very little about your prior programming knowledge. I recommend it to any beginner looking to see what computer science is about.
