Are functional programmers more upset about how good AI is at coding?
One might expect this since functional programmers pride themselves on the elegance of their code while programmers using hybrid languages just want to get the code working — elegance of the implementation is not that important to them.
I don't think functional programmers are necessarily more upset about AI being good at coding. If anything, FP tends to emphasize concepts that AI is already quite good at manipulating: composability, immutability, pure functions, and well-defined abstractions.
I think the premise is mostly wrong, and it confuses functional programming with aesthetic programming.

Says who?
no not at all,AI works extremely well with this mode
