Yeah, they realize (B) is almost always much, much lower than (A), which is why ChatGPT is stupidly useful even if it gets 15% of the stuff wrong.

I distrust that rationale, because even if generation>=verification, it depends on the error-rate and impact. Wiring up a condemned building with demolition charges might take longer than a casual independent review...

Truly perfect code verification can easily cost more than writing it, especially when it's not just the new lines themselves, but the change's effect on a big existing system.
