Not that I've noticed, but I've made a concerted effort from the beginning to mentally work through any AI-generated code I use. Yes, it does require a lot of discipline.

I believe it's equally important to ask it to explain why it generated the code when the output is unexpected. More often that not, it's acting more like "fancy autocomplete", though.

I agree, I'm too picky in domains I am knowledgable about to not go over every character of the output. For areas where I have no clue, I have sometimes found success with just pasting the code without understanding it, but it wasn't an easy process.
