This is why I don't use it for coding at all.

Yes, the obvious solution is to avoid it. I use it only for the most boilerplatey things. Anything else, I want to make sure I can still do it myself.

I don't knowingly use AI at all in my person life and projects (I say 'knowingly' since many products have it shoved inside now, but I disable all I see). At work, we have AI code reviews which, as a concept, I think is fine and useful.

IMO that's totally fine and appropriate

You're lucky your employer isn't making its daily use a condition of continued employment. My previous employer had a public leaderboard of token usage. They fired the lowest ranked people every month.
