I have been reading a lot that 90% of their code is AI generated, companies are pushing developers to use AI as it makes them fast. But I am a little cautious of believing them. Is it true? Also sorry I didn't find a css career subreddit so I am asking here.

If you have AI generate all of your code, you’re going to have a bad time

I agree with "all", but the percentage AI can do usefully is increasing quickly and depends a lot on your having written down and documented everything the super-smart-sometimes-hallucinating new employee needs to know.
