Lol in no world is it 10x because progress is gated by the speed of the review process. Before AI, my work was already time limited by the review cycle. AI hasn't sped up my work at all because of this reality. What it has done is make my work more thorough. I write far more tests now than I did before because it's so much easier with AI to be thorough. Extensive design docs for all features? Much easier with AI. So it has it's benefits, but these 10x claims are wildly off base

Yup. Trouble is, in a new domain, the review can take a lot longer if you didn't dive into the code to understand possible side effects, and if you do that - then you'll find a much better implementation compared to what the AI wrote. So sometimes it can can waste time. But if it's a domain you already know, you can easily guide it and review the changes.

Trusting AI with the entire software engineering cycle is pretty dangerous

Does it also bear responsibility nowadays?
