AI agents modify logging less often than humans in 58.4% of repositories but produce higher log density when they change it; explicit logging instructions are rare (4.7%) and ignored 67% of the time, with humans performing 72.5% of post-generation log repairs.
Using a 61-feature readability model, LLM code matches or slightly exceeds human code in readability score, shows distinct issue patterns, and prompt design has limited influence.
AI-generated code requires less maintenance than human-written code, mostly involving feature additions by humans rather than bug fixes.
Comparative case study on a postgraduate Java assignment finds PureAI and PostAI projects simpler with lower code smell density than PreAI but show oversimplification and weaker responsibility separation.
Proposes and validates via feasibility study an open-source automated framework for reproducible, species-fair security comparisons of human-written, LLM-generated, and hybrid code.
The paper proposes shifting GenAI research in software engineering from narrow performance metrics to also include developer well-being, social context, and sustainable productivity.

Do AI Coding Agents Log Like Humans? An Empirical Study
AI agents modify logging less often than humans in 58.4% of repositories but produce higher log density when they change it; explicit logging instructions are rare (4.7%) and ignored 67% of the time, with humans performing 72.5% of post-generation log repairs.
