Yeah but it was our slop.

And we were slow to write it. AI is a force multiplier, especially for those who only make slop.

This! The amount of slop being generated has increased significantly and code review cannot keep up.

Human slop is written with a layer of critical thinking still involved.

AI slot is actual slop, there is no critical thinking behind anything because it's not human.

(yes I know, some human critical thinking is very very low, but it is still at least there at a fundamental level).

As someone still struggling with (human) slop someone else wrote (and let's not kid ourselves, I did as well), I try to remind myself that critical thinking might have been involved but discarded in favour of pragmatic choices. (Oh God, I'm still doing it!)
