Only if the developer is being judged on the thing. If the tool is being judged on the thing, it's much less relevant.

That is, I, personally, am not measured on how much AI generated code I create, and while the number is non-zero, I can't tell you what it is because I don't care and don't have any incentive to care. And I'm someone who is personally fairly bearish on the value of LLM-based codegen/autocomplete.
