The biggest problem in my head with AI generated code is that its mistakes are subtle but can still be critical. There will be a point where people don't understand generated code and just leave it unmodified allowing other code to pile up and depend on it. At that point you no longer have a bug, but a new feature. Also, AI doesn't grasp things on a big scale, just shits out output with highest score. This doesn't mean output is a great fit for your project or for upcoming plans.

Reviewing code is absolutely different from writing it, and in my opinion much harder if the goal is more than surface level understanding.
This is what I am still grappling with. Agents make more productive, but also probably worse at my job.
