Dude, you are being stubbornly obtuse about this. Multiple people on this forum work with code for a living and have said that it’s useful. Do you think they’re lying?

No, but study after study on professional coders has shown that the ones using AI coding agents estimate they are more productive, when in reality they are less productive overall when you account for everything. It appears to be most effective in doing repetitive tasks rather than solving novel problems.

Are they the exception to the data? Likely not.

In a survey of 49,000 developers, the majority do not trust the accuracy of AI coding agents.

The bottleneck appears to be human review of the code, with times and workload increasing when AI coders are used

I'll go by data and not anecdote .
