AI accelerates software development, risking widespread 'enshittification'

The rapid adoption of AI tools is leading to an accelerated pace of software development, potentially resulting in more fragile and vulnerable code. This shift from "move fast and break things" to "move faster and break everything" is enabled by widespread use of AI, which allows for quicker creation of bloated and unreliable software. The author suggests this trend points towards a future of increasing "enshittification" within the tech landscape. AI
