The tool doesn't matter, the output does.

Handling LLMs is such a spectrum, from vibe coding without reading or understanding anything to being 100% identical to what the author would have written by hand. Banning the latter would be like banning certain text editors.

We have been getting human written slop for years! We deal with this the same way.

as long as the output does not cause legal issues, yes

Slop has always been there, but the cost of the slop is different
