The Substrate Collapse: AI Code Generation Invalidates Authorship-Based Knowledge Metrics
An academic paper argues that AI code generation fundamentally invalidates traditional authorship-based metrics for measuring software knowledge and comprehension, such as the truck factor. Since AI-generated code can be merged while the human author may lack actual understanding, authorship footprints no longer reliably indicate knowledge concentration, requiring the field to develop new comprehension-based measurement frameworks.
