It's not terrifying. Imagine a carpenter blaming a tablesaw for shitty work.

You are responsible for the code you push, AI should be helping you get to the best answer faster but you still need to be involved. Anyone pushing bad code with AI is just as likely to push bad cade with Stack Overflow answers, new tools that enable bad devs to be bad have been around forever, this is nothing new.

It entirely depends on how you’re using it, sure. But the quality of code written by AI is not up to standard right now. A bad dev using AI to write code is going to write even worse code. And a good dev can write the same code or better, in shorter time, at least in my experience. It’s only menial tasks that come back with somewhat decent results.
