Before performing the study, the developers in question expected the AI tools would lead to a 24 percent reduction in the time needed for their assigned tasks. Even after completing those tasks, the developers believed that the AI tools had made them 20 percent faster, on average. In reality, though, the AI-aided tasks ended up being completed 19 percent slower than those completed without AI tools.

Also: you can multitask with these things! Prompt it and let it cook for several minutes while you do something else. I feel like the people in this study must have been blankly staring at the code generating to get an overall slowdown…

Or spent more time debugging what it produced than it would have taken to write it themselves.

Nah, not if you’re using it in a reasonable way.
