Will copy from an answer I gave below:
Frontend is in such a terrible state that whatever shit code LLM spits out is valid? Give me a break.

I was replying to your comment about the state of frontend, not OP about using AI, just like the other replies you got.
Anyone admitting in public they use LLM output straight up without careful thought wouldn't get hired by me. But at the same time not everyone is building useful tools that people use... or is a professional.
But still in general I agree the sentiment of any backend dev who avoids modern frontend. The frontend world is the one who created this problem and continues doubling down on JS/React-everything and isolating frontends from backends, for little benefit besides minor DX gains (aka benefiting only the frontend dev, not the product or users).
