I will 100% agree with this. It just feels very scary to see entire teams completely handing off all coding needs and testing needs and also design needs for that matter, to AI. This not only makes people lose their touch but also allows them to push insane amounts of code every day. PRs get impossible to review for humans because they are too huge and they add too much burden so they unsurprisingly use AI to review those things again. And with the amount of code churn, nobody knows what exactly is being implemented. And I have seen first hand that as the size of the code base grows, tracing problems and actually debugging things when things go wrong gets incredibly rough and complex.

And AI that has been helping all this time will suddenly stop helping out with this one use case. I have experienced AI running in circles, in this case trying to find a root cause. It failed, and the user is left holding the bag. That is when you feel like you have just been dropped into a vast ocean without a lifeboat. Then you'll have to just start looking through those massive chunks of vibe-coded crap to understand what is going on.

AI is good in terms of improving speed, but I am afraid we are massively taking it the wrong way as engineers. Everyone is just letting it go on autopilot and make it do things completely from start to end. The ideal solution lies where every piece of code it writes is reviewed by authors, and they make sure they are not checking in crazy stuff day in and day out.
