Do you think there will be a reckoning eventually for all of this AI usage?

I currently do not work at a big company, i work as a Researcher at a university that focuses on Cybersecurity in critical infrastructure.

AI is damn near useless for what I do, it cant make any scripts that I need and it doesn't understand any of the communication protocols that are used in industrial networks. I basically only use it to parse PCAP files and make UIs for my simulations.

However I see devs on this subreddit claiming that they haven't written a line of code in a year or how everyone on their team is using it to do all of their programming and when i hear that I shudder a bit because in my experience, even using Claude opus, Codex, GPT 5, Gemini, it all eventually starts giving me code thats either full of bugs or it flat out just doesn't understand the problem that im trying to solve, leading to scripts that dont work as intended. It slows down my work and is just generally not that impressive to me.

I feel like I cant be the only one who has these problems with AI and I keep seeing study after study showing that the introduction of AI doesn't actually increase productivity and leads to more bugs and broken systems.

It makes me think that there is going to be a day when something catastrophic happens due to AI code being used and it will lead to a reduction of usage (a reduction, not flat out rejection, AI is good in the small)

What does everyone else think?
