@itamarst Yes, this! This is one of the failure modes we need to steer around.
One of the things we can do is turn UP the standards, rather than down. I you're generating code for PRs, you now have no excuse not to Get It Right. And it's extremely reasonable to be quite rude to someone who's dumped slop on us.

@aredridel I've been interviewing for jobs, and I've asked about AI tools, and one guy told me "if you submit slop you'll be flayed" and that probably has better outcomes, yes. But also I've heard "we're trying to figure out how to deal with quality" and that... didn't seem promising. And I'm sure there are organizations where if you push back on quality, management response is to take away the requirement for code review.
