A new paper introduces the Productivity-Reliability Paradox (PRP) in AI-augmented software development, highlighting conflicting evidence on productivity gains versus increased review times. The paper argues that non-deterministic code generation and insufficient specification discipline are key factors. It proposes the AI-Augmented Methodology Taxonomy (AAMT) and the Specification Governance Model (SGM) to address these challenges, suggesting that specification discipline, rather than model capability, is crucial for dependable AI-assisted software.
