Double side sword. If you were the creator, the owner of the source tree, easy win. Why not. You know what it will change and the states changed from it.

If you're someone with no understanding to the code has been tasked with "use ai to fix bugs" that is where the trouble starts. When you don't hold the full knowledge of the source tree then you should be shy in using LLM's to fix bugs.

How do you know that bug fix doesn't cause issues further up-stream?
