That's the theory, but in practice if you are a capable developer you'll spend a lot of time fixing the AI generated code. And the other practice is that a lot of novice developers will try and use AI to code, then bother others to fix it if it doesn't work. They will rely on AI and not bother to increase their own skills. I may be a luddite about it but I'm also not entirely wrong. That said, I'm sure the same was said about code generators and other features introduced by IDEs, like syntax highlighting.
