I don't understand why people look at bugs and go "oh it must be AI". Did humans never write bugs? I've seen plenty of platforms where bugs like that were the norm, bad software engineering has always existed.

Bugs did exist, but bugs that come from AI generated code can be easily avoided if a good enough engineer designed it. Also, the rate at which AI generates code means that there's A LOT more bugs now than there used to be.

		I'm sure the engineering teams of every company in the world is just "good enough engineers" and not, you know, regular devs who ship bugs at the same rate that has been now. And I'm sure your personal anecdote of "I saw a bug" shows that there's more bugs being shipped now.

Before it reached universal usage, I repeatedly saw teams I work with adopt AI heavily and then immediately start shipping more and worse bugs. It's probably not eating up all of their productivity gains but it's eating a lot. Just today I saw someone merge a PR whose description was clear that it would cause an outage if deployed, and I really don't see any explanation other than the humans who were theoretically in the loop not reading it.
