No, it's not. The problem is all AI hallucinates. Therefore, it is guaranteed to be confidently wrong. Until the problem of hallucinations are solved, anyone using AI in a production environment is an idiot, which is, of course, my personal opinion. But it seems pretty cut and dry to me.

Your original post (and even after this comment I think) was vague in that AI can be used in a lot of different ways in 'production' - to generate code, to manage deployment / scripts, or as part of a feature that uses inference.

For example, if you're writing code with AI, you can still review it just like you would if a colleague wrote it. You can write tests (or have the AI do so) to prevent some hallucinations, too.

Yes, AIs that hallucinate can all be used in different ways. But they can still all hallucinate, so I fail to see how what you are saying mitigates the fundamental, as yet to be solved, problem of AI hallucinations.

edit to say, what is the point, after all, of artificial intelligence if it's not used to make decisions? That's what it does. But ALL AI HALLUCINATES. Therefore, it's unreliable.
