Over-editing and over-adding... I can find solutions that are just a few lines of code in a single file where AI would change 10 files and add 100s of lines of code. Writing less code is more important than ever. Too much code means more technical debt, a maintainability nightmare and more places where bugs can hide.

I've seen this at work where people submit PRs that implement whole internal libraries to do something that could have been done with an existing tool or just done simpler in general.

It's impossible to properly review this in a reasonable time and they always introduce tons of subtle bugs.
