AI made a $2M mistake at the public accounting firm I worked at.

Management responded by blaming and firing an entire team for not double-checking the AI output, even though it was literally impossible for them to do so due to the volume of the output and lack of experience.

This will be you, sooner or later.

I understand your perspective, but I do review the code. I also do extensive testing. I don't use packages I'm unfamiliar with. I still read the docs. I don't run code I don't understand.

Again, the quality of the output really comes down to the user and the application. It is still faster for me to do what I've outlined above and it makes automating some tasks worth it in terms of ROI that otherwise wouldn't be.
