That sounds more like an organizational problem. If you are an employee that doesn't care about maintainability of code, e.g. a freelancer working on a project you will never touch again after your contract is over, your incentive has always been to write crappy code as quickly as possible. Previously that took the form of copying cheap templates, copying and pasting code from StackOverflow as-is without adjustments, not caring about style, using tools to autogenerate bindings, and so on. I remember a long time ago I took over a web project that a freelancer had worked on, and when I opened it I saw one large file of mixed python and HTML. He literally just copied and pasted whole html pages into the render statements in the server code.
The same is true for many people submitting PRs to OSS. They don't care about making real contributions, they just want to put something on their resume.
AI is probably making it more common, but it really isn't a new issue, and is not directly related to LLMs.
