With a shift towards AI-assisted coding, developers now find themselves managing intelligent agents rather than writing code directly. However, concerns regarding AI, such as hallucinations and security issues, persist. The effectiveness of AI in solving coding problems has improved dramatically, with AI systems increasing their success rate in coding tasks from 4.4% in 2023 to 71.7% in 2024, as per the AI Index 2025 report from Stanford University.
At the same time, worries abound, and not only from developers whose jobs may or may not be under threat. Hallucinations, security issues, alleged copyright violations, bloated code, buggy code, and unrealistic promises are among the concerns.
