Nailed it!

At my last place this was encouraged (by non-technical leadership driving the AI adoption policies, as well as setting salaries) and seen as a huge win.

The "step change in number of created PR's" was celebrated (cult-style), and by one of the (co) CEO's praised as a paradigm shift of the same magnitude as the personal computer. Meanwhile, I was stuck finding insta-reject level bugs in pull requests from people one-shotting 6000 line PR's "finally solving" long-standing issues from the backlog. Needless to say I left.
