I don't agree at all. There's a huge difference between "someone wrote this code and at least understands the intention and the problem it's trying to solve" and "the chat bot just generated this code, nobody understands what the intention is". I'm comfortable having a conversation with a human about code they wrote. It's pointless to have a conversation with a human about code they didn't write and don't understand.
The quality of "does the submitter understand the code" is not reflected in the text of the diff itself, yet is extremely important for good contributions.
