This comment is a good example of the double standard laymen have about AI usage:

If you use AI, then AI must be expected to solve all problems, even problems that affect everyone like infra scaling.

And if perfection isn’t delivered, then of course it wasn’t: you used AI and AI sucks.

It's not a double standard. Its being held up against the marketing.
If their AI is good enough to write their code, why isn't it good enough to tell them how to fix their infra? That's a different problem space, but it's not harder than the code.
The software engineer inside us wants to believe otherwise, but scaling infrastructure is much harder than maintaining a TUI.
Ah, excuse me, I didn’t realize I was a mere layman.
