I wouldn't be surprised if expectations have already increased in many years because of these tools. A lot of coding tests for new roles seem to expect a level of work that would have taken a week or so a few years back, and I half suspect they've been tuned on applicants using ChatGPT/Claude/whatever to handle everything.
So it would make sense for a lot of companies to think "well, these LLMs making coding 'trivial' now, let's ask our developers to do a lot more work now they don't need to think too much about it". The fact that debugging AI generated code can be hellish, or that these systems have more and more obvious limitations the further you get from the ideal situation (coding CRUD systems in JavaScript or PHP) probably won't cross their minds.
