I think the particular problem is if AI is just producing large volumes of code which are unnecessary, because the LLM is simply not able to create a more concise solution. If this is the case it suggests these LLM generated solutions are likely bringing about a lot of tech debt faster than anyone is ever likely to be able to resolve it. Although maybe people are banking on LLMs themselves one day being sophisticated enough to do it, although that would also be the perfect time to price gouge them.

Agree. We've seen cowboy developers who move fast by producing unreadable code and cutting every corner. And sometimes that's ok. Say you want a proof of concept to validate demand and iterate on feedback. But we want maintainable and reliable production code we can reason about and grasp quickly. Tech debt has a price to pay and looks like LLM abusers are on a path to waking up with a heavy hangover :)
