With the volume of code people are generating, no you really can't just read it all. pg recently posted [1] that someone he knows is generating 10kloc/day now. There's no way people are using AI to generate that volume of code and reading it. How many invisible bugs are lurking in that code base, waiting to be found some time in the future after the code has shipped?

I read every line I generate and usually adjust things; I'm uncomfortable merging a PR I haven't put my fingerprints on somehow. From the conversations I have with other practitioners, I think this is pretty normal. So, no, I reject your premise.
