AI-generated code contains 1.7x more bugs and severe defects than human-authored code

A CodeRabbit study analyzing 470 open source pull requests found that AI-generated code contains significantly more defects than human-written code. AI-authored PRs averaged 10.83 issues compared to 6.45 in human PRs, with 1.4x more critical issues and heightened security vulnerabilities including XSS and password handling flaws. The findings raise questions about code quality as companies like Microsoft report 30% of their code now comes from AI tools.
