Yea who needs to know if their code actually works anyways? We're looking at you aerospace, automotive, process control, and anyone with a customer SLA.

I can see it now "chatgpt, AWS says our spending is ten million in one week. What went wrong?" "As a chat bot I..."

Well you've certainly cherry -picked a vanishingly small amount of the code in the world. And in industries which generally have a budget for hiring professional programmers.
