Study (N=16) finds AI (Cursor/Claude) slows development

Before starting tasks, developers forecast that allowing AI will reduce completion time by 24%. After completing the study, developers estimate that allowing AI reduced completion time by 20%. Surprisingly, we find that allowing AI actually increases completion time by 19%

N = 16

  • (minutes) earlier post linking the study

    • Oh, thanks! I thought Lemmy would warn me if I tried to submit a duplicate URL.

      Oh nevermind, that one looks like it was posted after mine. (It has a higher ID, too.)

      • It's not a duplicate URL. You posted an image, they posted a link to the study.

        I mainly wanted to give the additional context and discussion, more so than say "has already posted".

        I assume I must have compared a modified date or sth, dunno. Misled by it being shown further down in my feed.
