Everything you say is all possible, and in theory I agree with you.

However, I have been using spec-kit (which is basically this style of AI usage) for the last few months and it has been AMAZING in practice. I am building really great things and have not run into any of the issues you are talking about as hypotheticals. Could they eventually happen? Sure, maybe. I am still cautious.

But at some point once you have personally used it in practice for long enough, I can't just dismiss it as snake oil. I have been a computer programmer for over 30 years, and I feel like I have a good read on what works and what doesn't in practice.
