If it's a tool you can use yourself and it makes you more efficient, you don't need a study to recognize its efficiency.

If you're a software engineer, just try it yourself. Your own experience is the best proof you can find to judge if a tool is useful to you or not.

I am a software engineer, and trying it is exactly how I know it is not a “force multiplier.”

Outside of my personal experience—there’s also zero actual evidence it provides anywhere near the benefits it’s marketed as.
