The trend towards increasingly low-quality, mass-produced code started long before AI but AI has greatly accelerated the trend and taken it to levels not previously possible. Short-term, this is destroying software dev jobs, long-term, it's going to create a lot of software dev jobs when people have to maintain or rewrite the mess (unless AGI can fill the gap). It will create a lot of jobs in cyber-security also because complex code, rushed out hastily, with less context awareness, opens the door to more potential vulnerabilities.
It's interesting how the trend which took over manufacturing is now also taking over software development. This trends towards low-quality, mass-production is taking over everything.
