I think that's completely fair.

There are also plenty of valid personal reasons for refusing to generate code with AI - learning-by-doing and ownership of the result being the main ones, IMO.

This is also true in my experience. But in my work, I found that I don't care how the code or comment was generated, as long as it doesn't try to overload my brain with irrelevant and obfuscated things, and as long as the person is not pretending that it's true, verified or their own creation (when it isn't).
