summary
AI code generators increase developer satisfaction (60–75%) and report 73% staying in flow and 87% preserving mental effort, yet they produce near-duplicate outputs about 1% of the time, raising five real risks: copyright infringement, trade-secret leakage, lost data rights, TOU-driven anti‑competition, and unclear copyright ownership. Recommended practices include mark files with AI content, adopt test-driven development to constrain and secure generations, run focused snippet scanning weekly, require human edits before commits, negotiate confidentiality for fine‑tuning, and log edits to preserve copyrightability and context.
