Yeah, but you had to integrate it until it at least compiled, which kind of made people think about what they're pasting.
I had a peer who suddenly started completing more stories for a month or two when our output was largely equal before. They got promoted over me. I reviewed one of their PRs... what a mess. They were supposed to implement caching. Their first attempt created the cache but never stored anything in it. Their next attempt stored the data in the cache, but never looked at the cache - always retrieving from the API. They deleted that PR to hide their incompetence and opened a new one that was finally right. He was just blindly using AI to crank out his stories.
That team had something like 40% of capacity being spent on tech debt, rework, and bug fixes. The leadership wanted speed above all else. They even tried to fire me because they thought I was slow, even though I was doing as much or more work than my peers.
