Be careful here about confirmation bias. If you only spot 10% of the AI-written code, you'll still think you see all of it, because a 100% of the ones you spot are indeed AI-written. And the 10% you see, will indeed be painfully obvious.

The ones you don't notice aren't obvious.

That's fair.

It depends on why you care about AI-written code.

At the code review stage, we care mostly that the code is good (correct, readable, etc). So if the AI-written code passes muster there, then there's nothing wrong with it being "AI-written" in our eyes.

If you care about AI-written for the sake of preventing AI usage by your developers, then I think it's already impossible to detect and prevent.
