I’m a software developer and I say that AI is the greatest force-multiplier that’s been introduced into the field since the compiler.

As a person who works with coworkers who fully embraced it, it doesn't look like they are any faster. There is one group that is faster, but they don't verify their code and provide burden of it on another person who reviews PR to go through their shit code (sorry, but it is unnecessarily complex, does things in weird ways, I've seen it had bugs that even canceled each other (I guess this is probably due to re-running until things work))
