If that's the case, I don't think we have anything to worry about anyway. If productivity actually drops then I suspect that this program will be sunsetted.

Have you found the fabled solution for measuring programmer productivity?

No, but I do feel like if every programmer were to complain that all they do is babysit AI code, and if we see that most of their commits are fixing mistakes of AI code (e.g. wrapping stuff with null checks or something), eventually management would listen.

Management will not listen as long as the company’s future success is at least partially based on the success of their AI developer initiative.
