The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in software development has led to a threefold increase in weekly code merges, but this surge in output does not necessarily equate to a threefold improvement in product quality.

This results in more frequent releases but a continued lack of insight into their actual effectiveness, characterizing the process as "activism" rather than genuine progress. AI
