This is categorically false because time and cost pressure is relative and if anything AI has exacerbated the exceptions for ROI and Turn Around time.

This along with the fact that even state of the art AI tends to generate subpar (albeit working) code extremely fast and large volume.

You can see the effect of this already in the increase rate of production incidents recently.

This isn’t to say that AI is useless, but the tech debt it generates is unprecedented.
