It's not reality. I'm really not a fan of the way that people excuse the really terrible code LLMs write by claiming that people write code just as bad. Even if that were true, it is not true that when you ask those people to do otherwise they simply pretend to have done it and forget you asked later.

I had a coworker that more or less exactly did that. You left a comment in a ticket about something extra to be done, he answered "yes sure" and after a few days proceeded to close the ticket without doing the thing you asked. Depending on the quantity of work you had at the moment, you might not notice that until after a few months, when the missing thing would bite you back in bitter revenge.

Maybe, but it lets them pump out much, much more code than they otherwise would have been able to. That's the "100x" in their AI productivity multipliers.
people also piss in rivers, yet dumping raw sewage by million m^3 in the same rivers is generally (less so in uk) frowned upon...
Maybe, but I'd bet a large sum of money that each of your coworkers aren't turning out this drivel at a rate of 3kLoC per hour.
Can you imagine working with someone who produces 100k lines of unmaintainable code in a single sprint?
This is your future.
That's the reality nobody really wants to say.

It's an easy copout.
Tool works as expected? It's superintelligence. Programming is dead.
Tool makes dumb mistake? So do humans.

Sounds like you just work at a shitty company
