I think this is extremely important:
Bad programmers + AI = bad code
Good programmers + AI = good code
This. As an experienced developer I've released enough bugs to miss-trust my own work and spend as much time as I can afford in the budget on my own personal QA process. So it's no burden at all to have to do that with AI code. And of course, a well structured company has further QA outside of that.
If anything, I find it easier to do that with code I didn't write myself. Just yesterday I merged a commit with a ridiculous mistake that I should have seen. A colleague noticed it instantly when I was stuck and frustrated enough to reach out for a second opinion. I probably would've noticed if an AI had written it.
Also - in hindsight - an AI code audit would have also picked it up.
The quote above covered exactly what you just said: "yet were also more likely to rate their insecure answers as secure compared to those in our control group" at work :-)
