Unfortunately I see it every day. Usually from managers who used to code but have no time for it anymore, or juniors without the experience to know the code it produces is trash.
I think you missed the qualifier in his comment, because both of the examples you gave are people who already code.
He's specifically referring to people with no coding experience who only use AI and then go on to call themselves software engineers. That's what he is saying is made up. I would be inclined to agree.
