That's the thing, there's a big difference between using AI to help you solve a problem and using it to write code that you don't understand (and not take the time to understand it). It would suck to be reviewing someone else's PR and find out you're putting more effort into understanding their code than they did. But these are powerful tools and they're not going away anytime soon

It does, but that experience was a real thing long before AI-generated code.
