AI-generated code compiles. It passes linting. It clears your test suite. Then it hits production and destroys 6.3 million orders in six hours. That is not a hypothetical. It happened at Amazon on March 5, 2026. And the reason it happened is not that AI writes bad syntax. It is that your CI/CD pipeline was designed to catch problems that AI does not create, while missing the problems it does.
