I disagree with this. Just reviewing the code is exactly what I mean by "properly being checked and tested".
There are people/companies that just vibe code the hell out of their stuff without any review whatsoever. That's not something I want to touch.
I was warming up to this. It certainly is better than vibe coding, but I've started to see libraries [with this ai policy] push out bigger releases faster with bad ergonomics and unnecessary, undocumented breaking changes, because the ai quietly migrated the internal tests/examples.
Clearly, they're reviewing large amounts with an eye on new features and they're not thinking through ergonomics: spending time with it, writing it themselves, and seeing where the sticking points are.
Maybe if you're using ai for the migration, then-- problem avoided, for now. As time goes on I could see it compounding and becoming a tangled mess that's not only inaccessible to humans, but requires more and more compute to navigate than thoughtful, handcrafted code.
