Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants - eviltoast
Code analysis firm sees no major benefits from AI dev tool when measuring key programming metrics, though others report incremental gains from coding copilots with emphasis on code review.

“Many developers say AI coding assistants make them more productive, but a recent study set forth to measure their output and found no significant gains. Use of GitHub Copilot also introduced 41% more bugs, according to the study from Uplevel”

    For retards like me. It helps a little. But AI sucks a lot of time. Like a dev could probably not use it for new code because it hasn’t done that before.
