I said it needs to be measured. But few teams are going to do that, they're building products not case studies.
This study is catnip for the people who put "AI" in scare quotes and expect those of us who use it to suddenly realize that we've only been generating hallucination slop. This has not been the lived experience of those of us in software development. In my own case I've seen teams stop hiring because they are getting the same amount of work done in less time. But those are anecdotes, so it doesn't count.
It's entirely possible to measure metrics.
Enjoy your slopware.
We do measure metrics around sprint productivity, code quality, reworks, and more. However, we do not build case studies for clickbait articles. This isn't a productive conversation as you just want to ridicule those using AI. Blocked.
LOL. Doing a good job of that all by yourself, mate.
