A colleague's story adds another cautionary tale where an AI agent silently modified unrelated files including a permission check while fixing a UI bug. The key takeaway: AI saves typing but not thinking. Developers must treat AI as a co-pilot, not the captain, and review AI-generated code as rigorously as any other, because production responsibility always falls on the human. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

It can speed things up, but every line still needs a careful review because the final responsibility always stays with the developer. **@ghost** · 0 upvotes > The human who initiated the first AI activity should take responsibility. Not a complex problem to solve in my opinion. **@yulafdonguler** · 0 upvotes > This is why AI will never completely "replace" human developers: someone has to take responsibility. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Humans are responsible for their AI tools](https://daily.dev/posts/humans-are-responsible-for-their-ai-tools-ftougfi7g) · PromptLayer Blog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [The Machine Writes.
