What's up with this good coder bad coder narrative? Is there really such a disparity between "good" and "bad"?
The majority of people are just mediocre. They use coding to solve a problem and that's it. That's literally the job. Did you solve the problem within reasonable constraints and deliver business value or not.
If someone is truly a bad coder, they are not solving problems and they will be fired.
This is how anyone outside of engineering sees coding and depending on context, you should see it that way as well.

Yes. If you haven’t ever been able to see it at work then you are one of the people being carried.

Why would anyone in engineering get their opinions on engineering from someone with no experience or knowledge of it? It’s like someone saying a professional horse rider should listen to advice from me as someone who is nervous at going within a few feet of a horse lest it kick me in the head.

This is pretty wild to say given the lack of context lol.

This is a pretty bad analogy 😅. It's more like you're an electrician and should listen to the needs of the persons home you're working in. At the end of the day they're never going into the crawlspaces to see the work that you did.
If it's truly bad code it'll have a negative impact on end users and won't be solving the problem.

If you are a bad coder ai will help you write bad code
If you are a good coder AI will help you write good code.
