So we are calling the developers as sloppy now just because they use AI? It is entirely possible to use AI and still produce good code - the effort required changes, but so long as it is done by a diligent developer capable of asessing and correcting AI code, it should be fine.

That's my point, diligent use of AI is indistinguishable. And because of bad rep we will see any bad code called out "AI slop".
