Absolutely. I really don't think the future will be humans reading and picking apart an AI-generated codebase, there will be tech debt agents or whatever running overnight.
I think you misunderstand why tech debt lingers around. It's not a capacity or capability problem.

Organisations just don't want to deal with the accountability involved with "touching cold code". Whether it's a human or "AI agent" doesn't change the "It worked in prod, you touched it, you broke it, never touch anything again" dynamic.

So your proposal to handle tech debt created by "AI" being unable to do good engineering is... throw more AI at it? There's a saying about the definition of insanity which comes to mind.
