Honestly, I used to be one of them. I recently saw a great library (atcute) that changed my opinion. I think most AI sceptics haven't had this experience. They saw AI slops and set their opinion: AI-generated codes are bad. I can't really blame them, though, because there are so many of AI slops.

It's true. However, I think people who create AI slops are worse than those who don't use it. They are diligently making this world a worse place.
