I think I found the best fitting analogy to what I'm more and more seeing in practice:

AI coding is digital cocaine.

It just fits. People get high from the hit when AI pushed out yet another feature in five minutes. But when they are high they are not willing to reflect on the outcome (i.e. check it properly). And when they are on withdrawal, they need the next sniff, i.e. the next slop coded feature.

And they become arrogant, like cocaine users and don't want to see what is going on.
