In my experience, I don’t think hallucinations are a big problem anymore in terms of coding as long as you work within your domain of expertise.
The perception that AI tools make development faster is perhaps due to the part we spend a lot of time with thinking about how to write (like commenting) is solved instantly.
I think a lot of the delay is that it’s a new class of tool, and just like last gen IDE it takes a bit of getting used to and know where their strengths are, and know how to effectively fit it into your workflow.

Well, unless of course you are building low-risk software in which you don't care about it's correctness then sure.

But again, try tell that to the "vibe-coders" who get stuck when AI agents continue to insert bugs they cannot find.
