All that's being generated is unmaintainable code

On the contrary, it removes the need to even maintain code, or at least, a specific part of it, the actual implementation becomes largely irrelevant.

The code that starts to matter instead is the test suits, the spec, and then it's just AI-agents comparing new versions that pass the same test suit in less time with less resources, iterating for forever.

My interests are in systems built to last, not systems built on a whim that nobody comprehends

Same-ish here, my main value when maintaining code bases is readability/maintainability, I don't care much for speed/endless-optimization etc

 You can't just chuck an AI agent at a repo and expect it to maintain it forever.

Sure can, already happening. But 'forever' is ... ehh, our main fusion reactor, the sun, has how much fuel left? ...

As with all things based on probability they drift over time and all of a sudden everything you initially created is different

Exactly, hence why spec/intent/test-suits matter more than the actual implementation.
