studies show a clear trend – output is up (more code, more commits, bigger diffs), but outcomes don’t reflect that trend. If anything, the average team is taking longer to ship worse software

Of course it didnt cover that. This was an article on the efficacy of AI in writing software, not a treatise on ethical or legal concerns. I would completely lose trust in the author if they started piling on every reason why "AI Bad", because it would be clear that they have an agenda

In my opinion that's not the framing the article uses. It just says "I’m currently pulling together a bunch of sources – that are mostly recent – on the topic of LLMs and their use in software development.".

Leaving out any ethical concerns for that basic framing seems like a pretty notable choice, so I thought it was worth pointing that out.
