No one is saying to take the output and immediately ship it. It still needs to be finished and tested. What's important is what is ultimately delivered; less important is what steps brought you to that point.

That said I suspect good testing will become more highly-valued as AI use increases. Maybe there's a form of TDD that can develop, with the human mostly writing tests and AI prompts?
