I don’t really see this as a massive problem. Its code. If it doesn’t run, you ask it to reconsider, give some more info if necessary, and it usually gets it right.
The system doesn’t become useless if it takes 2 tries instead of 1 to get it right
Still saves an incredible amount of time vs doing it yourself

It is perfectly possible to have code that runs without errors but gives a wrong answer. And you may not even realise it’s wrong until it bites you in production.
While I agree, I saw it abused in this way a lot, in the sense that the code did what it was supposed to do in a given scenario but was obviously flawed in various was so it was just sitting there waiting for a disaster.
I haven't found a single instance where it saved me any significant amount of time. In all cases I still had to rewrite the whole thing myself, or abandon endeavor.
And a few times the amount of time I spent trying to coax a correct answer out of AI trumped any potential savings I could've had
