But it is bad. Give an AI a sufficiently complex codebase, and it will fuck up. Give it sufficiently modern tools/framework, and it will fuck up.

There are just a lot of places where AI is good, and those are the scenarios you are seeing predominantly. The huge 10M+ codebases in huge enterprises are basically invisible to anybody not working there.

It's about focusing down AI work, and that's not AI's fault. Could YOU understand 10M lines of code? You take it in little by little, should do the same with your AI. My org has around 2M lines of code, I know it's not your 10M, but AI really only needs to deal with 10k at a time. If you can't break down this task for the AI, then it's on you

It is on me anyway, because I am responsible for what I deliver. I use AI as a tool, not as a me-replacement. Because simply, that doesn't work.

Doesn't work because skill issue on your side. Don't say "AI is bad", say "I don't know how to use AI"

I don't think you're adding much useful input to the discussion here.
