Comment on Study finds AI tools made open source software developers 19 percent slower

This article confirms my own experiences with AI. I spend a lot more time reviewing, reprompting, and tweaking than I save on coding. Having to double check or fight it to get what I want is not a time saver. Not to say that it doesn’t save time when it is right, but the thing that I never seem to get across to proponents of AI is that anytime I need to reprompt or refine, I have lost. I have officially wasted time at this point compared to simply referencing the documentation. Unless I’m generating a significant portion of code which only needs minor tweaks. I’m generally not saving time.
