You don't simply put a body in a seat and get software. There are entire systems enabling this trust: college, resume, samples, referral, interviews, tests and CI, monitoring, mentoring, and performance feedback.

And accountability can still exist? Is the engineer that created or reviewed a Pull Request using Claude Code less accountable then one that used PICO?

The point is that in the human scenario, you can hold the human agents accountable. You cannot do that with AI. Of course, you as the orchestrator of agents will be accountable to someone, but you won't have the benefit of holding your "subordinates" accountable, which is what you do in a human team. IMO, this renders the whole situation vastly different (whether good or bad I'm not sure).

You can switch to another LLM provider or stop using them altogether. It's even easier than firing a developer.
