In my experience this isn't the case - it gets many details subtly wrong. Unless someone technical can nanny it you get weird fixes. For example, I recently had AI decide to remove a database column because it ran into an execution bug related to the column. Without a human in the loop I have no clue what the end game to that would have been. Similarly, it's getting better, but there've been times where it basically writes security vulnerabilities. Stakeholders in management should be aware of the risk, but seem oblivious to it. Maybe because there's little track record of anyone ever being held accountable for massive screw-ups, but at some point letting AI loose will lead to some kind of major disaster and there'll be some reevaluation.
