I've slowly been coming around to this viewpoint as well. It's interesting that there's so much focus on using AI to write code (which, don't get me wrong, does work well but makes you lose track of what you're building so quickly) and seemingly less on analyzing code, finding bugs, etc

The planning, which can also be done in concert with AI, before getting the AI to write the code helps with not losing track of what you're building. In my current workflow, I never tell AI to just code X, I always approach it in such a way to leave space for research and breaking it up into multiple units of work (tickets) if the scope of the feature or idea calls for it.

I wouldn't say it's "interesting", rather that it's a natural result of incentive structures. If the AI labs try to sell their product as being good at finding bugs, then their expected valuation is the entire market cap of the existing static analysis industry, which is not very high. If they instead sell their product as being good at writing software, then their expected valuation is the "market cap" of the code-writing industry, a.k.a. the total spent on software development labor, which is very high. It doesn't matter what's true, only what promises to make them the most money.
