It looks like "ai generated" is the problem.

Is this a bigger problem than Microsoft Front Page(or other WYSIWYG) generated code? How would you compare this Upwork contractor quality code?

Frontpage code is isolated in a single file, a single page in your website.

AI code is often reused, because it's code and you are supposed to export/import it. Hence the damage spreads instead of being contained.
