AI is making us write more code. That's the problem.

I analyzed research papers on AI-generated code quality. The findings:

→ 1.7x more issues than human-written code
→ 30-41% increase in technical debt
→ 39% increase in cognitive complexity
→ Initial speed gains disappear within a few months

We're building the wrong thing faster and calling it productivity.

@mlevison can you post some links to those research papers?

In case you did not know: #acm's digital library is not open and free to use for everybody so most peer reviewed articles published in the us should be accessible. https://acm.org/dl

@rhold the links are in the blog post: https://agilepainrelief.com/blog/ai-generated-code-quality-problems/
AI-Generated Code Quality and the Challenges we all face

Research shows AI-generated code has 1.7x more issues than human code. Analysis of several studies reveals growing technical debt and complexity with GenAI tools.
