You realize that you just answered your own question? It’s bad enough when a manager also tries to be a developer working in a production system (instead of doing research, POCs, enablement type work if they really want to code), the last thing I want is some vibe coded slop from my manager.

But yes as a staff cloud architect who specializes in app dev, I very much treat AI as a junior developer who “learns” by my telling it to summarize discussions/preferences in markdown in the repo.

I do a phase approach when I use AI just like when I don’t where I test a little at the time. It gets too difficult to manage and explain otherwise.
