There are multiple factors exacerbating this even further:
1) AI generated code is "soulless". Reviewing code can be engaging if you are trying to understand your colleagues thought process. Sometimes you learn something new, sometimes you can feel superior, or politely disagree. AI ain't worth the hassle.
2) You unlearn how to write code by relying heavily on LLMs. On some level, it is similar to an IDE giving you context clues and definitions. On another, it can replace the hard work of thinking things through with mediocre yet usually workable solutions. And that's the big trap.
