This is so true. Reviewing a MR from someone who uses AI takes 10 times more time, because you can't trust that ANY thought has gone into each decision.
Catastrophically bad decisions (such as OP noted, which crash prod...) are instead camouflaged as GREAT decisions and backed up by a mountain of text. It's a garbage fire.
I had a co-worker who wrapped every function generated by AI with try/except (discarding the error).
The unit tests passed flawlessly!!!! They also didn't test anything at all
I was livid. My boss was an idiot and I tried to explain the issue, but I got in trouble because I took too long to fix it. 1000 of lines of mangled shit.
I just found a new job (got more pay too)
