Wow these are extremely interesting results, specially this part:

> This gap between perception and reality is striking: developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%.

I wonder what could explain such large difference between estimation/experience vs reality, any ideas?

Maybe our brains are measuring mental effort and distorting our experience of time?

I also wonder how many of the numerous AI proponents in HN comments are subject to the same effect. Unless they are truly measuring their own performance, is AI really making them more productive?
