Ok sorry to get abstract but to me what you are talking about is differentiating between understanding and correctness. We as humans, for now, need to understand the code and that's not easily transmitted from the output of some AI. In fact, that's a hard problem. But I don't think it's impossible for AI to assist humans with that. The AI could help walk humans through the code to understand quickly what's going on. Maybe ultimately the issue here is trust. Do we trust the AI to write code. Maybe we spend more time trying to verify it for now. I think that shows we place a lot of trust in humans to write code. Maybe that changes.
