AI can increase junior code generation without automatically improving team-wide productivity. Research across 2,755 projects reportedly found a 19% productivity drop for senior developers reviewing AI-assisted code. The productivity burden can shift to senior engineers who must review, repair, explain, and integrate AI-generated output. Organizations should fix review processes before scaling AI code generation. When generation capacity grows faster than review capacity, defects and architectural inconsistency can increase faster than useful output.
