Question
An AI assistant generated this React component for a dismissible cookie banner. It renders and looks fine in the design review. What's missing before this ships, and who does it hurt?
function CookieBanner({ onAccept, onDismiss }) { return ( <div className="cookie-banner"> <span>We use cookies to improve your experience.</span> <div className="actions"> <div className="btn primary" onClick={onAccept}>Accept</div> <div className="btn" onClick={onDismiss}> <XIcon /> </div> </div> </div> );}What a strong answer looks like
Treat the AI’s output as a draft to verify, not an answer to trust. Name the specific flaw and the input that triggers it, say how you’d catch it — tests, edge cases, reading critically — and how you’d re-prompt or decompose to get it right.
