So, they added an MCP server with write database privileges? And not just development environment database privileges, but prod privileges? And have some sort of integration testing that runs in their prod system that is controlled by AI? And rather than having the AI run these tests and report the results, it has been instructed to "fix" the broken tests IN PROD?? If real, this isn't an AI problem. This is either a fake or some goober who doesn't know what he's doing and using AI to "save" money over hiring competent engineers.
