The rapid adoption of AI tools in software development poses a risk of amplifying poor coding practices. Without careful oversight, issues like duplicated logic, weak abstractions, and inconsistent naming can spread quickly through a codebase. This highlights the need for vigilance in maintaining code quality as AI integration accelerates. AI

IMPACT AI integration in software development may accelerate the propagation of poor coding practices if not managed carefully.
