The bigger problem in my experience isn't even junior devs using it. It's senior people who haven't been individual contributors in many years who love that AI means they can just hop in and patch whatever problem comes up. It's not too hard to tell a junior dev that adding an if statement right before the error happened to make a separate codepath for that one case is not the right answer. It can be MUCH harder to tell a Senior Director that you don't want to merge that pull request because that's not the right way to solve the problem.
