Researchers at CodeRabbit analyzed 470 GitHub pull requests and found that AI-generated code contained 1.7 times more significant defects and 1.4 times more critical issues than hand-written code. On average, AI submissions included 10.83 issues, compared to 6.45 in manual contributions. AI code also showed higher rates of logical errors, security vulnerabilities, and performance problems, including a 2.74-fold increase in cross-site scripting risks.

Other studies support these findings. Cortex reported a 20% rise in pull requests per developer with AI use, but also a 23.5% increase in issues and a 30% higher rejection rate. The University of Naples noted AI code tends to be simpler but includes unused constructs. METR found AI slowed task completion despite users’ belief in faster work. Monash University observed that GPT-4 produces more complex, test-performant code that requires additional maintenance effort.

A leaked build of Microsoft’s canceled Andromeda OS now runs on the Surface Duo, offering the first actual look at the company’s dual-screen Windows vision. Designed as a successor to Windows Phone, Andromeda treated the home screen as a digital notebook and supported pen input. Users accessed the Start menu and Cortana through edge-swipe gestures, and apps opened on the left screen by default but could move to the right via drag-and-drop.

Developer Gustave Monce ported the unfinished operating system into an installable FFU file. The build remains unstable, with nonfunctional posture detection and sleep features. Installation erases all Android user data, even in dual-boot setups. This release provides insight into Microsoft’s 2016–2018 strategy to position Windows Phone in a new hardware category before the company abandoned the effort. As you know, Surface Duo was released with Android.
