The main issue with AI I think is that it is exposing slop in the process people have handwaved away for some time. If the issue is you ask an AI for a prompt and it issues a function that doesn't work as expected, and this breaks your workflow, then the issue is your workflow. A junior dev or anyone else really could write a function that doesn't work as expected. Your workflow shouldn't go down to its knees in response, it should have tests and other debugging surrounding the putative function call to ensure that its output is as expected and it is not causing downstream issues in the stack. This is why a stack overflow copy paster and a gen ai cruch wielder are both the same kind of bad. Both don't understand the context of the code hence grasping for "please solve this for me someone/thing" tooling instead of the underlying documentation that explains every thing for someone with knowledge to apply. Both require the same care to either not hire or to disempower such that one stupid bug pushed on friday isn't going to bring down the stack on the weekend, that it can be reviewed by people with an understanding of what is happening.
