This just reads as copium to me. "Those hacks vomiting out slop.. pah, when they call me, the artisan, in to clean up their mess in a way God intended, then they'll see!"
More realistic: AI assisted tooling will continue to improve as it has, the average code quality will rise as conventions and workflows improve and those who wait to be called in to clean up slop or whatever will wait forever, pushed by the wayside by those who can deliver great quality with the help of these new tools.

That sounded a lot like the "have fun staying poor" argument from the peak cryptocurrency days.
Did it? Cryptocurrency enabled gambling and illicit purchases, that's it. In all other ways it was/is a solution in need for a problem.
Current gen AI has a ton of issues, but it nevertheless enables vast amounts of use cases today, right now.
And hoping that slop that is created today will provide work for the artisanal craftsman in the future is wishful thinking at best.
No, not really.
I think you decided what my point was before reading my entire comment.
