There was already a backlash against DRY code occurring before "AI" assistants hit the market, sadly. It was a growing movement when I was using Twitter in 2019-2022.
Some younger developers have a very different attitude to code than what I was brought up with. They have immense disdain for the Gang of Four and their design patterns (probably without realising that their favourite frameworks are packed to the gills with these very patterns). They speak snidely about principles like DRY and especially SOLID. And on places like Twitter the more snide and contrarian you can be, the more engagement you'll get. Very disturbing stuff.
