My opinion is very close to this. Currently the reason that it's bad to not reviewing/testing the code LLMs generated is because the LLMs can sometime generate bad codes. But it's a bug that can be improved. One day you'll have LLMs generating code consistently better than what a human could write. And then you just stop needing to review them. (And that's probably also the time where most programmers/developers got fired too)

Don't get surprised if anyday the LLMs starts to generate binaries directly. THAT will be impossible to read and costs more time to analyze.
