“In a report released in January, Anthropic researchers found that software engineers working with a new software library saw a small, statistically insignificant boost in speed when they solved a task with the aid of AI compared with a control group working without AI assistance. When the coders were quizzed about the software library after the task, however, the group given AI assistance scored 17 percent lower than the AI-free group.”

There’s lots of people saying they’re producing a decent app with AI. Okay, but producing v1 is always easy. Imo that’s why some devs love always jumping to new things. You can do all that easy stuff over and over, writing libraries for a new language and more importantly you don’t have to read as much code or learn how to integrate functionality into it.

Let’s see where these people are after 5 years of AI development. I think that will be the real test.
