I also use AI to give me small examples and snippets, this way it works okay for me

However this still takes away from me in the sense that working with people who are using AI to output garbage frustrates me and still negatively impacts the whole craft for me

Having bad coworkers who write sloppy code isn't a new problem, and it's always been a social problem rather than a technical one. There was probably a lot less garbage code back when it all only ran on mainframes because fewer people having access meant that only the best would get the chance, but I still think that opening that up has been a net benefit for the craft as a whole.

Before there was some understanding that at least they wrote and understood their own garbage code

Now it is not true. Someone can spend a few minutes generating a non-sense change and push for review. I will have to spend a non-trivial amount of time to even know it’s non-sense.

This problem is already impacting projects like curl who just recently closed their bug bounty because of low-effort AI generated PRs

Hah. I don't work with (coding) people, so thankfully I don't have that problem
