Code is much much harder to check for errors than an email.

Consider, for example, the following python code:

    x = (5)
vs

    x = (5,)
One is a literal 5, and the other is a single element tuple containing the number 5. But more importantly, both are valid code.

Now imagine trying to spot that one missing comma among the 20kloc of code one so proudly claims AI helped them "write", especially if it's in a cold path. You won't see it.
