I believe it to be very likely. AI is a development tool that allows you to implement things that simply weren't possible before due to time constraints.
You don't need a plane to get from America to Europe, but there are constraints if you don't use one.
I think most people are angry about the artistic portion like images and dialogue of games being AI generated more than the code. Code can be art as well in my opinion, but it still can be even if you AI just ported a large part of your code base to another target engine for example.
