These issues include hallucinated imports, incorrect refactoring that breaks downstream logic, and code generated from stale or contradictory instructions. Additionally, AI-generated tests may fail due to non-determinism, and asynchronous code can contain race conditions that only appear under load. The core problem is that AI models optimize for code plausibility rather than strict correctness, necessitating updated code review practices. AI
