Lol figure 3 shows copilot as being the highest task time savings when in my experience it is the most garbage.

I mentioned elsewhere (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49060382) but this is because it references a study from 2023, at which point Copilot probably was the most advanced AI-assisted coding tool.

The amazing thing is that these numbers are from the time where AI coding was basically "spicy autocomplete."

that's why companies are pushing those tools. the usage volume makes them look good on frivolous reports like these.
