Great point! Looks like you got some strategies for dealing with managers lol

The problem is that this mode of operation for them works - they get the features made in a fraction of the time it used to take, the feature does what it says on the tin, they feel good about pushing the product in a specific direction. If something goes wrong, the AI can fix it, too.
I'm not sure that there's really a "bomb" hiding in here anywhere. The issue is that it IS "reasonable" now to expect big features to be done within a week.
If manage is reasonable, you can explain to them that there isn't time to check the work of the AI, and that it frequently makes obscure mistakes that need to be properly checked, and that takes time.
At this point, if they still insist you just give it the AI's work, they've made a decision that is their fault. You've done what you can.
And when the shit hits the fan, we're back to whether they're reasonable or not. If they are, you explained what could happen and it did. If they force responsibility on you, they aren't reasonable and were never going to listen to you. That time bomb was always going to go off.
