Bugs never occur in the high-level/big picture land, it usually come up in the low-level/implementation land. Should you entrust these to AI ?

Only because bugs are defined as errors in implementation details. You can still have errors in your design (sometimes referred to as design bugs).

It's not about "entrusting" to AI any more than I would be entrusting important code to a junior developer to just go off and push to production on his own. We still have code review, pair programming etc. As I said, I read the output code, point out issues with it, and in the end make manual adjustments to fit what I want. It's just a way of building up the bulk of the code more quickly and then you refine it.
