I'm fairly certain they meant that as an example, since that's one of the languages you mentioned, and that with that second statement they were referring to phenomena like the cults behind Linux and C that often believe anything else to be inferior. So neither of those are an indication of inexperience.
That aside, please be aware that it's very patronizing to explain to them the—in your opinion—correct way to get into the trade based on your seemingly unfounded assumption that they are trying to learn. They might be a senior programmer with little time or too many ideas, so they use AI to get it done faster. They might only use this as a prototype, too, which is strongly encouraged by this website to begin with. They might even replace AI code in a full release version, maybe; who knows?
