A person who knows how to code without access to AI tools means when they have access to AI tools their productivity would increase but they will also be able to point out mistakes, if any, in the generated code.

A person who does not know how to code without access to AI tools means they will consistently push bugs generated by AI, affecting the teams productivity, if any.

If this is the case, wouldn't you expect their grades to reflect this as well due to the generated code answering exam questions having errors?

The exam questions are likely simpler than an entire application would be; using AI to write bubble sort is trivial but getting it to understand the full context of your application is much less so.

ChatGPT can solve most LeetCode questions, but I don't think most people here are ready to replace their junior developers with it.

Not on a class that teaches programming to beginners, no. Would you?
