The technology industry is embracing AI-based coding tools, which have raised concerns among maintainers about their impact on maintenance work. Many maintainers perceive that these tools will increase the quality of code they produce, but also create new challenges such as increased maintenance burden and the need for more scrutiny to identify issues with the generated code. Despite some reservations, a good number of maintainers are optimistic about the possibilities of AI-based coding tools, seeing them as useful for generating boilerplate code and simplifying mundane tasks. However, many express concerns about reviewing and accepting contributions created using these tools, with almost two-thirds of maintainers saying they'd be less willing to do so. The usefulness of information from automated pull requests for vulnerability remediation is also a topic of debate among maintainers, with some finding the information not very useful at all. Overall, while there are valid concerns about AI-based coding tools, many maintainers see potential benefits and believe that creators of these tools should prioritize reducing maintenance work rather than increasing it.
