AI-Assisted Development: Faster, but at the Cost of Quality
SimpleOne warns that AI does speed up prototyping and routine development, but without strict rules it easily degrades the codebase. Internally, the team built a Gantt chart prototype in 4 hours instead of a week, but then rewrote about 60% of the code. The takeaway is simple: measure not generation speed, but cycle time, code churn, defects and review time.

AI-assisted development creates a paradox: a team starts writing code faster, but the final code can get worse. SimpleOne has analyzed a typical trap of AI development, where a local speedup at the generation stage easily masks growing technical debt, rework and review time.
How much does AI speed up code development?
In a Gantt chart development project, the neural network produced a working version in about four hours instead of a week of manual work, but about 60% of the code had to be rewritten.
