AI-Assisted Code: Fast Implementation, Slow Results? Identifying and Fixing 'AI Code Smells'

The article highlights a critical issue in AI-assisted development: the potential for increased initial velocity to be offset by increased debugging and review time due to 'AI code smells.' It suggests a need for better tooling and practices to ensure AI-generated code is not only fast to produce but also maintainable and reliable.

• •AI-assisted coding can increase initial implementation speed.
• •AI-generated code may introduce 'code smells' leading to longer debugging and review cycles.
• •The overall development time may increase despite faster initial implementation.
