Why Does AI-Generated Code Pull in Unknown Dependencies?

AI coding tools solve problems the way the training data solved them, which usually means reaching for a library instead of writing twenty lines. Ask for a retry wrapper and you get tenacity, ask for date math and you get arrow, ask for a config loader and you get three transitive packages you never evaluated. This episode looks at how AI-assisted development quietly expands your dependency surface, why the cost shows up months later in upgrades, audits, and breakage, and what a builder actually has to own to keep it in check.
