AI is writing more code than ever.
Faster commits. Fewer bugs. Shorter sprints.
And it never argues in code reviews!
Perfect teammate, right?
Until you realize it also never maintains its code, never fixes production bugs at 2 a.m. and definitely never sits in post-mortems explaining why it hallucinated a new API endpoint.
Here’s the catch – AI doesn’t own the code it writes. You do.
Every “good enough” function, every silent assumption, every skipped test – they all end up on your backlog, not ChatGPT’s.
Sure, AI can boost productivity.
But productivity without accountability just means you’re shipping debt faster.
So, when that “AI-generated” function goes rogue six months from now, who’s on the hook?
The dev who approved it?
The manager who said “Ship it, it’s AI-tested”?
Or the org that never adjusted its code review standards?
AI writes code. Humans still pay the debt.
