By expanding the ability to program to people without the knowledge of how that code works in the first place, it's naive to expect that most uses of AI in programming will be informed uses by senior developers able to recognize errors and security flaws.
Such a pro-AI position also ignores the enormous amount of theft that these tools are built on.
Or, less likely, it could be that person knows and just doesn't care. I certainly don't because I believe intellectual property is bullshit.
It's one thing for individuals (particularly those without the means of paying) to pirate content that its original creators have already been compensated for and now exists to milk money for an IP holder for a century; it's another matter entirely when AI companies with multi-billion dollar valuations scour the internet for content to include in their models to then profit from without permission from or compensation to the millions of people whose work they depend on.
The problem in there is corporations. AI is just the means of the dickery, not the cause.
I would also go further and say the root cause is capitalism, and that someone being able to eat or be housed should not be based on whether or not their art has met the criteria for corporate purchase. But I digress.
