From my limited experience with AI coding I wouldn't hire a "bive coder". I'd be less concerned about specific language experience though as long as the team already had a strong foundation in the language they were using and the new hire had experience with similar languages and domains. I have a strong background in Java, decent background in Go, and virtually no background in Python. I've been using AI to help me write Python and I feel my prior programming experience has allowed me to have a pretty good understanding of what the generated code does and where it's incorrect even with out being an expert in Python. If I were hiring and we made use of AI tools during development I'd have no concerns about hiring a DotNet developer for a Java position if there fundamentals were solid. I wouldn't want to hire a Java developer for imbedded systems work in C since even if the languages have syntactic similarities the domains are incredibly different.
