Found it better to not fight it, you can't really turn back the clock with people who have embraced it or become enamored by it. Part of the issue I've noticed with it is it enables people who couldn't do a thing at all to do the most basic version of a thing, e.g a CEO can now make a button appear on the app and maybe it'll kinda work, they then assume this magic experience to them is applicable across the rest of coding where if you actually know how to code making the button appear isn't the thing that's difficult, it's the harder work that the AI can't really solve.
But really you're never going to convince these people so I'd say if you're really passionate about coding find a workplace with similar minded people, if you really want to stay in this job then embrace it, stop caring if the codebase is good or maintainable and just let the slop flow. It's the path of least resistance and stress, trying to fight it and convince people is a losing and frustrating battle, take your passion for your work and invest it in a project outside work or find a workplace where they appreciate it too.
