Here's hoping that the C-suites who keep pushing this shit are about to start finding out the hard way.
It will be too late, using Ai code is taking on technical debt, by time they figure out we will have 2 years of work to just dig ourselves out of the code clusterfuck that has been created. I am dealing with a code base built by ai coding Jr's, it would be quicker to start from scratch but that is an impossible sell to a manager.
