AI-assisted software development tools are producing large volumes of code suggestions that developers must evaluate and filter. Teams report spending increased time reviewing and refining automatically generated output, despite initial expectations that the tools would deliver productivity gains. Discussion among developers is focusing on whether the net effect on workflows is actually positive, with review burden emerging as a key concern.

Why now: Widespread adoption of AI coding assistants is prompting developers to reassess whether promised productivity gains are offset by extra review work.
