Shipping a lot faster definitely puts a big strain on the QA side of the house. But I'm not at all convinced that things have gotten worse even with "AI slop". CI/CD and releasing features more quickly has long been proven to make software more reliable rather than less. But to work, it requires much much better test coverage. CI/CD and AI code go hand in hand. It's all about the test coverage. Not enough tests, then exactly as you are saying: ship 10x the bugs (which actually means your software will fail catastrophically). And you mention leadership (and others did too). Here's my view: if your company leadership doesn't care about software quality, then it doesn't matter if you used Fable, or agile, or 10 year old agile, the software won't be great. You'll never have the time to do things well.
