That’s what it boils down to.
Indeed, my airline pilot brother once told me that a carefully supervised 7 year old could fly an airliner safely, as long as there was no in-flight emergency.
And indeed hiring children, who are not accountable for their behavior, does create a supervision problem that can easily exceed the value you may get, for many kinds of work.
I can’t trust AI the way I can trust qualified adults.

With AI, in the current state at least, there is no global logic involved with the whole thing that was created. It is a random set of probabilities that generated a somehow valid code. But there is not a global "view" about it that it makes sense.
So when reviewing, you will basically have to do in your head the same mental process as would have done an original human contributor to check that the whole thing makes sense in the first place.
Worst than that, when reviewing such change, you should imagine that the AI probably generated a few invalid versions on the code and randomly iterated until there is something that passed the "linter" definition of valid code.
