I’m not surprised that AI doesn’t help people with 5+ years experience in open source contribution, but I’d imagine most people aren’t claiming AI tools are at senior engineer level yet.

Soon once the tools and how people use them improve AI won’t be a hinderance for advanced tasks like this, and soon after AI will be able to do these prs on their own. It’s inevitable given the rate of improvement even since this study.

Even for senior levels the claim has been that AI will speed up their coding (take it over) so they can focus on higher level decisions and abstract level concepts. These contributions are not those and based on prior predictions the productivity should have gone up.
