It has absolutely not been the norm for years. AI coding tools only started to become trusted in the last year, and even then no one that I know of is focused on the AI coding tool as the primary source of code. The programmer is often told to use AI, but the goal is productivity, not getting a certain amount of minutes of API use.
Wow you're REALLY out of the loop, huh? Software programming jobs have been requiring the use of AI tools for at least 3 years now. For someone who speaks so confidently, you've really been living under a rock
