The accountability problem is real but I think it's slightly different from what's being described. The issue isn't just "who signs off"; it's that the reasoning behind a change becomes invisible when AI generates it. A senior engineer can approve output they don't fully understand, and six months later when something breaks, nobody can reconstruct why that decision was made. Human review works when the reviewer can actually interrogate the logic. At LLM-assisted velocity, that bar gets harder to clear every month.
