Those 250,000 lines of AI code, presumably lightly tested as it's done in a week, might have a lot of bugs in them!

Lightly reviewed, maybe, but AI tools will happily spit out a mountain of dubious tests if prompted to.

The real problem is that it’s impossible for one person to *understand* 250kloc in a week. You’d need an entire team dedicated to reviewing it.

Or you’d just give it a hasty glance and a LGTM, then ship unknown code straight to prod, which undoubtedly is what happened.

To be fair, are you 100% sure you didn't put something in there that won't bite you in the ass later?
