It depends. AI can help writing good code. Or it can write bad code

I'll give you a hypothetical: a company is to hire someone for coding. They can either hire someone who writes clean code for $20/h, or someone who writes dirty but functioning code using AI for $10/h. What will many companies do?

Many companies chose cheap coders over good coders, even without AI. Companies I heard of have pretty bad code bases, and they don't use AI for software development. Even my company preferred cheap coders and fast development, and the code base from that time is terrible, because our management didn't know what good code is and why it's important. For such companies, AI can make development even faster, and I doubt code quality will suffer.
