一句话:呼吁 GenAI 软件开发研究从性能指标转向开发者福祉、社会语境与可持续生产力。
生成式人工智能正在迅速重塑软件开发,产业与研究界日益强调加速生产力和优化性能。然而,过度聚焦这些维度可能忽视对开发者福祉的关键影响:GenAI 工具可能加重认知负荷,引入新的监督式劳动,并推高对产出与节奏的期待,进而导致压力、倦怠和工作与生活失衡。GenAI 运动也在改变职业规范、改变职业入口、要求持续适应,并加深在访问与支持方面的不平等。这篇立场论文主张重新调整软件开发领域中 GenAI 的研究议程,并提出了一个理论框架,以超越狭隘的性能指标,将人的体验、社会语境和可持续生产力也置于研究核心。
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is rapidly reshaping software development, with growing emphasis on accelerating productivity and optimizing performance. However, excessive focus on such dimensions risks overlooking the critical implications for developer well-being. GenAI tools can amplify cognitive load, introduce new forms of oversight labor, and escalate expectations around output and pace, contributing to stress, burnout, and diminished work-life balance. The GenAI movement is also transforming professional norms, altering career entry points, demanding continuous adaptation, and deepening inequalities in access and support. This position paper calls for a reorientation of the GenAI research agenda in software development and proposes a theoretical framework to move beyond narrow performance metrics toward investigations that also center on human experience, social context, and sustainable productivity.
