An extension of the "they think it can do everyone's job (except their own)". Even weirder, they tend to think that the people enjoy their obnoxious attempts to diminish their jobs. Then you just have one more thing to try to explain to management why the code generation from a sales guy doesn't actually do what the sales guy thinks it does.
I will say at least around me, it has gotten less bad on this front as of late. Either a lot of these folks got bitten and learned the codegen doesn't magically make them capable, or they just got bored of trying. Either way, it's nice to have them quiet down a bit.
It helps if they actually have to use the crap code they vibe out. They can no longer yell at the nearest dev that their impossible requirement isn't working. So there's less pushback against bringing back their convenient scapegoats.
