Whilst I agree with your point, I think what sometimes gets lost in these conversations is that reviewing code thoroughly is harder than writing code.
Personally, and I’m not trying to speak for everyone here, I found it took me just as long to review AI output as it would have taken to write that code myself.
There have been some exceptions to that rule. But those exceptions have generally been in domains I’m unfamiliar with. So we are back to trusting AI as a research assistant, if not a “vibe coding” assistant.
The worst is reviewing the code and realizing it stinks and should be done another way
So you re-roll the slot machine and pay the reviewing cost twice
I don't think AI's biggest strength is in writing code
