The process of writing code is the process of clarifying your own thought and being forced to answer questions that may not have been obvious before. To the extent that AI makes assumptions, it introduces bugs and incorrect code, maybe not from the perspective of the code in isolation, but from the broader context it lives in. To the extent it doesn't make assumptions and asks you, well that assumes it knows what should and shouldn't be assumed and that's not necessarily something AI can know a priori.
$DAYJOB recently introduced a AI writing policy because people were sending each other mountains of slop back and forth enough that it became a huge time suck. The policy is basically: don't, with the justification being "writing is thinking". It's like they're so close to getting it.
