METR: "We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't."
are you sure this is more scientific than the endless flood of AI-generated press releases from AI companies claiming you can pay them $20/month to replace $200k/yr skilled professionals and every anyone will easily become *the* next zuckerberg? FOMO hype train automation as a service!
I can see how Ai for coding can be useful if you're learning and we assume Ai gives correct code. So you learn from it only when you need to instead of waiting for hours on social networks to get a reply. But we all know Ai outputs bullshit constantly and people always entirely rely on it to do shit and not just when there is specific need.
The "AI" tool users show a somewhat steady linear completion over time, whereas the "non-AI" users follow more of an s-curve (I think they're called sigmoids?).
the breakdown is really interesting. I mostly use it via ollama for code completions, so I don't have a prompting overhead. I ask the chat assistants only when I really don't know how to approach a problem at all.
Also, even if it could maybe speed up unexperienced developers, they will hardly become experienced developers if they rely on the AI and do not learn to solve problems by themselves.
I'm finally reading this paper but my first thought is anybody on earth good at predicting how long a task will take them....?
Setting aside the small person sample, randomizing the tasks within developer is....
AI can expand your capabilities if used properly, I know it for a fact, my scripts as a sysadmin got a whole lot more complex and better the day I started using chatGPT...
