I vilify code LLMs every time I review a colleague's code, ask them why they wrote something a certain way, and they can't explain. ChatGPT prose is even worse: it's like a corporate press release, only even blander and happytalker.

I find AI handy in two cases - writing quick boilerplate and assisting when I'm coming to grips with a library. In my case, I've never used the Qt libraries at all, and I'm trying to learn how to use them. Most of the code gets rewritten several times as I try different things, but it's handy to have something fill in the blanks if I can't remember the name of a function.

Ultimately, it's me who's responsible for the end product and I accept that and review the code. But it's definitely been handy.

You get whole blocks of code written by AI? No reviewing from the original dev???

Honest question in reply: If you need to vibe code your way through a real programming job how are you supposed to review your own work?
