AI-generated code doesn’t just add features — it adds technical debt.

Python and PHP developers use AI to move faster:

Writing utility functions

Refactoring logic

Building APIs

Fixing bugs

But every line you don’t fully understand becomes:

A future bug

A security risk

A maintenance cost

AI optimizes for working code, not for:

Readability

Long-term design

Your project’s constraints

What good developers do:

Simplify AI output before merging

Rename variables to match project standards

Remove unnecessary abstractions

Add tests around AI-written logic

Speed without ownership always comes back with interest.
