"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, a company providing insights from coding and collaboration data."
@dbread haven't seen anything to suggest an AI can do better or quicker than my 30+ years of experience coding.... and I'm not even that great at it. Now.... give it another few years, who knows but thankfully retirement is not too far off
@rozeboosje Short snippets for SQL queries work great with #ChatGPT . So my assumption was, there is a level to increase performance.
When reviewing code from team members that has a new code style, it is often AI generated stuff copy and pasted. Which makes the code review slower (but the development probably faster).
The main quote from the article for me is that they have been looking on the **output**, and not the subjective feeling of each developer. And this output is not increased. Strange but obviously true.
