Covered Patio Posts Buried in Ground and Surrounded by Cement Patio?

Gemini is saying this is not okay. The cement patio was poured around the wood pillars encasing them. I just imagine rotting happening, even if the wood is treated.

Also, on rendering and engineering sheet, there are cylindar cement piers that look to come to ground level... and the left one is even popped up a bit. After digging down, there is cement, but it is a ways down... so wood is going to be buried.

The builder is looking into it and getting us info to confirm all is good, but I want to be prepared for when they reply.

Any concerns after looking at these pics about rot or stability, etc?
