Yeah, but do they do this on purpose (e.g. to avoid promoting someone who might outshine them), or they just do the random thing because they are incompetent? I suspect there is a lot of bias in action, for example extraverts genuinely beli

Why would companies accept AI generated code, it they can generate their own (and review the prompt)? It's like predicting that when compilers become more popular, accepting binary contributions will become the default.
