James Huff :prami_pride_pan:<p>“Before performing the study, the <a href="https://social.lol/tags/developers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>developers</span></a> in question expected the <a href="https://social.lol/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> tools would lead to a 24% reduction in the time needed for their assigned tasks. Even after completing those tasks, the developers believed that the AI tools had made them 20% faster, on average. In reality, though, the AI-aided tasks ended up being completed 19% slower than those completed without AI tools. […] Overall, the developers in the study accepted less than 44% of the code generated by AI without modification. A majority of the developers reported needing to make changes to the code generated by their AI companion, and a total of 9% of the total task time in the ‘AI-assisted’ portion of the study was taken up by this kind of review.”</p><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/07/study-finds-ai-tools-made-open-source-software-developers-19-percent-slower/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/ai/2025/07/stu</span><span class="invisible">dy-finds-ai-tools-made-open-source-software-developers-19-percent-slower/</span></a></p>
