I could be wrong in some subtle way I'm not seeing, but I believe the model we're working in avoids the downsides. I actually think my review bar is slightly higher now, because I don't feel as much pressure to compromise my standards when I know Claude is capable of writing the code I want.
I would say the main downside is not knowing what all your code does, and where to find any particular function.
After the initial coding is complete, will you need to use AI to fix bugs? Presumably that is both slower and more expensive than doing it by hand when you know exactly where to look?
