This is simply a symptom that the company doesn't have good Quality Control processes in place.
AI-produced code is good but it's not so good that it can replace hand-crafted (or heavily supervised) code written by the type of engineer who works at Cloudflare.
What's really happening is that a few employees realized they can game the system by turning on a firehose of AI slop and pushing 10x the LOC than any other engineer (with or without AI), because there's no one to tell them to stop, and in fact with a management that actively encourages this.

Did they figure out how to game the system? Or was the system set up exactly with incitaments to produce exactly this outcome?
The new system is immature and hence open to exploitation. This is eventually going to destroy some companies.
