That's a very handwavy way of saying no.

I disagree, software engineering is a mature discipline now, and at this point we have so many testing frameworks (unit testing, syntax testing, regression testing, fuzzing, testing end to end, live, with a subset of known good and incorrect inputs, chaos monkeys, etc, etc, that to say "there's no way of verifying the AI-generated code" is frankly incorrect.

Or, if you insist, defend the "there's no way of verifying the code, at all", and not only AI-generated.

(if it helps I work in the company where before the code even starts being written, several extensive tests for it must be ready first. It's hard to even commit a broken code, and later in the pipeline it's very easy to catch the subtly broken or incorrect code)
