AI coding agents generate more code, but not more software

Ars Technica reports that AI coding agents are producing large volumes of code without a matching increase in finished software. The argument is that raw code output is not the same as working, maintainable products, and that agent-generated code may add bulk without adding value. Developers are debating whether AI tools genuinely boost productivity or mostly inflate codebases.

Why now: Developers are actively debating whether AI coding tools deliver real productivity gains or just produce more low-value code.
