I disagree. For example:

Now, six months later, you realize that your AI-generated software is riddled with security holes. Whoops! Your database is leaking private financial data like a sieve

We have seen this a thousand times before there was an AI. AI is like a cheap contractor out of school and companies who use it extensively will get the same results. It's a pragmatic thing, not some phantasm about bullies. I have told so many times "I told you so" to previous managers that I trust it will happen again and again.
