Your first point I agree with, I've already encountered chunks of AI generated code and I don't want to read them.

Second point about the comments, actually I'm seeing the AI write much better comments (i.e. some) than most devs (none).

Some comments are far worse than no comments at all. I would agree that even semi-decent comments are far better than nothing. However, "no-new-information" comments are just noise, and misleading comments have a huge negative effect. I would not be surprised if an AI produced a large number of the former, and perhaps some of the latter.
