I think in a small conversation like this, it's probably not entirely fair.

However, we're hearing similar things from much larger organisations who definitely have the resources to do studies like this, and yet there's very little decent work available.

In fact, lots of the time they are deliberately misleading people (25% of our code generated by AI being copilot/other autocomplete). Like, that 25% stat was probably true historically with JetBrains products and using any form of code generations (for protobufs et al) so it's wildly deceptive et al.
