If the generated implementation is not good, you're trading short-term "getting on with the job" and "real deadlines" for mid-to-long-term slowdown and missed deadlines.

In other words, it matters whether the AI is creating technical debt.

If you're creating technical debt, you're creating technical debt.

That has nothing to do with AI/LLMs.

If you can't understand what the tool spits out either; learn, throw it away, or get it to make something you can understand.

Do you want to clarify your original comment, then? I just read it again, and it really sounds like you're saying that asking to review AI-generated code is "disingenuous or naive".
