What if the hiring managers at the jobs you'd actually prefer to work at also cringe when they see it on your profile?

It's becoming so ubiquitous, I highly doubt it. At worst I think a manager would just see it as fluff, but not a negative.

I hope the hiring managers I would actually want to work for would see it as a red flag on resumes

At this point, I'd assume those hiring managers are also being forced to use AI in their jobs (or pretend, at least) and probably wouldn't read too much into it if it's not a substantial portion of their resume. I do feel the same way, though.

Why? It's just the name of the game, everyone gets it. Especially if you're a generalist/frontend type.

It's simply not a game I'm interested in playing. I'll find something else to do instead, leave the AI jockeying to others.

I asked coz know several managers who would look upon it as a red flag and I suspect OP would probably prefer to work for them rather than AI sheep.

That's actually a really good point.
