The Additive Bias Problem
AI models are trained to be helpful, which creates a systematic bias toward adding code rather than fixing root causes:
| AI Default Behavior | Correct Behavior |
|---|---|
| Add a workaround | Fix the root cause |
| Modify test expectations | Fix the implementation |
| Create a new helper | Use an existing one |
| Add error handling | Prevent the error |
