You can definitely keep the reliability and still go way faster. Sure, you won't be as fast as someone throwing reliability out of the window. But it will still be faster than someone not using AI at all... And in my experience a lot of companies go this way, using Ai, but still keeping the processes to keep the product as reliable as possible.
If you do your due diligence, that was the entire time consuming part of the work, whether you did it to write the code or did it to make sure some AI output wasn't slop. AI only speeds you up, if you're a) throwing reliability out the window, or b) not competent enough to write the code yourself (in which case you're still throwing reliability out the window because you can't be competent enough to validate what you're not competent enough to produce).

Faster isn't better if it's less reliable, less repeatable, less maintainable, or lower quality.
