I personally think "I pretty much use it as a faster and more flexible StackOverflow" is probably the most neutral position you can have on it

That's probably not going to be enough for AI maxxers, but it probably won't be too much of a turn off for anyone but the most extreme AI minners, and everyone in between will probably be fine with it.

Frankly I plan to steer well clear of any "the majority of our code is AI generated" shops for the foreseeable future. Seems like disasters waiting to happen and I'd rather let other people step on those rakes

The disaster isn’t even waiting to happen. It’s actively happening.

Look at the uptime and incident rate of all the big tech companies that have gone all in on AI generated code

I know of a few shops (names you've heard of!) who are trying to transition to AI-only coding (i.e where engineers must vibe code...) - despite already having a few production bugs with their current approach.
