A more specific example. The developer had a change request and he implemented that by changing few lines of code in a class. As an experiment he tried to achieve the same by using AI and vibe coding. The result? More than 50 classes affected, some of them not even related to the change.
Yea I defently have the feeling AI tends to overcomplicate things and basicly spend more intelegence than needed .... it is basicly the financil incetive to spend as more tokens as possible and make people hit their limits and it is very hard to mesure it and prove it
True, probably that's coded to act this way. Instead of do the minimum to achieve a set goal... do as much as you can to achieve a goal and what's surrounds it. This way the eat more tokens, but we are left with a big mess out of it.
