They are. And we have processes to minimize them - tests, code review, staging/preprod envs - but they are nowhere close to being 100% sure that code is bug free - that's just way too high bar for both AI and purely human workflows outside of few pretty niche fields.
When you use AI to 'fix' something you don't actually understand the chances of this happening go up tremendously.

Hehe, yes, very apt. It immediately gives the right mental image.
