Axios - A surprising new study finding that AI tools can reduce programmers' productivity is upending assumptions about the technology's world-changing potential....Software runs our civilization, and AI is already transforming the business of making it. But no one really knows whether AI will decimate programming jobs, or turn every coder into a miracle worker, or both.
The study by METR, a nonprofit independent research outfit, looked at experienced programmers working on large, established open-source projects.
- It found that these developers believed that using AI tools helped them perform 20% faster — but they actually worked 19% slower.
- A key factor was that human developers found AI-generated code unreliable and ended up devoting extra time to reviewing, testing and fixing it.
