Can we talk about AI generated code and who's actually responsible when it breaks?

Last week I had a debate with a buddy who runs a small ecommerce site. He uses AI to write all his backend scripts now, says it saves him 10 hours a week. I pointed out that if that code fails and crashes his inventory system, who's on the hook? Three years ago I watched a guy lose his whole client list when a script he didn't fully understand went rogue and deleted a database. On the flip side, I get that AI can crank out solutions faster than any human. So where do you draw the line between trusting the tool and owning the mess when it goes wrong?

That database story changed my whole view on this.

Man, same here - my entire database history is basically just me googling "how to undo a SQL delete" at 2am.
