A new study of the non -profit organization Metr showed the following: While fulfilling real tasks, experienced developers worked more slowly than him with AI.
16 experienced open source developers participated in the experiment. 246 tasks were given from the warehouses he knew. Secondly, they used AI tools such as the second second Cursor Pro.
Before work, the participants estimated that AI would reduce the execution time by 24%. The result was exactly the opposite: AI tasks took 19% more time.
Researchers believe that the case is in the “Waib coating vermek approach that requires continuous communication and explanations from the user. Instead of a productive code, developers spent time to formulate requests and wait for answers.
IMPORTANT: METR does not declare that AI is useless. On the contrary – not as good as he believes. Especially in complex projects.
Progress is going quickly, but developers should deal with new tools with the share of skepticism.
