I have used custom code generators at work for 25+ years.

The generators typically generates about 90% of the code I need to write a biz app. Leaving the most important code to me: the biz logic.

No AI. Just code that takes a (simple) declarative spec file and generates Typescript/C++/Java/... code.

I am also using AI's daily. However the code generators are still generating more productivity for me than AI's ever have.

How come such a large portion of the code is generated?
It sounds like boilerplate Java.
