Having used copilot at my job, can confirm. At times it makes useful output (sometimes very so), but I have to spot check everything it writes, which takes me out of the flow of coding. So even if it massively improved its success rate, it would make my job primarily code reviewing, which sucks
A study measured the performance of 800 developers before and after getting GitHub's Copilot. It found: - No change in productivity - No change in burnout levels - A 41% increase in the bug rate!?? Aren't you thrilled we're burning the world to power these AI models?
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.
