> “The results surprised us,” research lab METR reported. “Developers thought they were 20pc faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19pc slower when they had access to AI than when they didn’t.”
They forgot about training and practice. Try it with airplanes. "The results surprised us. Given Boeing 777 they thought they will get from London to New York in 7 hours, but they actually couldn't even get off the ground. In fact they couldn't even start the engines."

If your "AI Assistant" is as hard to operate as a trans-Atlantic flight on a Boeing 777, perhaps it's not a very good assistant?
It's a tool which is like others. It has limits and needs to get used to. From my experience first attempts are overoptimistic. I tried big chunks at once. Then I learned smaller tasks work better. But the most important thing is it can do simple things in languages that I don't know and don't want to learn (due to natural brain's limitations). Just need to have things done, like simple web front end for application running its own server on some microcontroller.
