I've heard of one study that said AI slows developers down, even when they think it's helping.

It is true sometimes, but other times it saves hours. We're all still in the learning stage of how best to use these new tools, and their capabilities are growing constantly.
AI may slow coding a bit but dramatically reduces cognitive load.
The real value of AI isn't in helping coding. It's in having a human-like intelligence to automate processes. I can't get into details but my team is doing things that I couldn't dream of three years ago.
It does dramatically reduce cognitive load. I think that part is understated and lost to the headline of how it writes two thousand lines of code in 30 seconds.
