As someone who loves FE the slop people are pushing where I work is really quite upsetting to me.
I reviewed some code earlier which clearly wasn't intended for consumed by humans and I know with certainty this dev wouldn't have understood 90% of what that code did. It looked like hours of Claude trying to force square into a round hole tbh, but it worked.
Was I going to reject the PR because of my code preferences? No, of course not. Ultimately it doesn't matter anymore. If Claude can maintain it then who cares... Even if it's broken (which it didn't seem to be) it's just FE anyway so not the end of the world.
I wish it did matter of course, but like most of coding these days, it just doesn't.

You absolutely should've rejected it. Putting slop into production is a huge trap, because now the humans can't understand it and the LLM is just going to make it worse and worse over time.
I think what OP is saying is that the fact that a human can't understand it won't matter as the code will only ever be read by AI.
