Part 3: The Empirical AI Bug Taxonomy — 7 Failure Modes of Generated Code
Answer-first: The empirical AI bug taxonomy categorizes distinct failure modes that escape conventional testing: subtle concurrency races, silent boundary failures, slopsquatting dependency hallucinations, inverted logical conditions, and tautological unit tests. Detecting these machine-generated defects requires deterministic AST invariant scanners, real-time Semgrep rule enforcement, and mutation testing harnesses that actively challenge probabilistic assumptions before pull requests reach production environments. Prerequisite: In-depth knowledge of concurrent programming models, race condition diagnostics, Go runtime scheduler internals, mutation testing theory, and static analysis abstract interpretation is required for this chapter. ...
