Indeed. For me the most infuriating part is the amount of low-quality questions that could easily be answered by AI before submitting the question. They definitely should embrace AI and generate an answer. If you think that question isn't properly answered, include why the AI proposed solution is wrong and let humans answer it.

As for the correctness of the solution: that's why the voting system and tickmarks are there. Wrong solutions would ideally be downvoted and never marked correct, I don't really see how AI is making a big difference here. Moderators today aren't running the answered code either.

The difference in how much effort it is to create a correct-looking/sounding answer without an LLM, and how little effort it is with e.g. ChatGPT. It's a force-multiplier on the side of people creating bad answers. Worse actually, "bad but convincing sounding answers", which drive-by voters are especially prone to misevaluate.
