it is. for these companies it's not a tool, it's a replacement. I contract for a lot of startups and small to medium sized companies and they all use AI/LLMs as a go to end to end builder. not a tool, just straight up utilize it to build from beginning to end with prompts supplied by whatever junior dev or college intern they have on staff. None of it is verified once the build is complete. Just immediately pushed to production. So why don't they check it? well because most places laid off the people who could check it or were half way decent at code review.

So what's Amazons excuse? pretty much the same. keep senior staff to a minimum and rely on fresh college grads. they've always been like this. So them not verifying anything an AI wrote isn't surprising. This is the same company that will force all new grads to be on call for a week straight expecting them to solve issues on their own at 3am.

Well. They're trying to use it as human replacement. They keep finding out that they can't.
