I also wonder how many of the numerous AI proponents in HN comments are subject to the same effect. Unless they are truly measuring their own performance, is AI really making them more productive?

How would you even measure your own performance? You can go and redo something, forgetting everything you did along the way the first time
You could go the same way as the study, flip a coin to use AI or not, write down the task you just did, the time you thought the task took you and the actual clock time. Repeat and self-evaluate.
Sample size of 16 is already hard enough to draw conclusions from. Sample size of 1 is even worse.
