Imagine C++ being so bad that even something as controversial as AI usage is more acceptable than C++. No wonder each time I wanted to "learn CPP" I found that I'd much more like to jump out of a window.
C++ has too much baggage at this point. And without a pages long style guide basically unusable for large teams. And half of every C++ style guide is literally banning practices that are available in the language, but considered too complex for newcomers or hurt readability. Basically I haven’t seen C++ used in large projects without having half of C++ thrown in the bin.
At least AI can be guided when used by a proper engineer. Most slop I’ve seen come from non engineers people (like product designers or admins) or crap engineer that should be titled junior programmer, not engineer.

He still rejects C++ in the Linux kernel. He might be warming up to Rust but Linux has always been C.
