"AI generated code" essentially means using Github Copilot or an alternative - these barely write a function without errors, nor are they even close to implementing a new feature autonomously.

I expect these tools to improve productivity for new-ish developers, however for anyone that is literate in a programming language the effect is marginal at best ("Copilot pause" etc.)
