> Have you heard of that study that shows AI actually makes developers less productive, but they think it makes them more productive??

Have you looked into that study? There's a lot wrong with it, and it's been discussed ad nauseam.

Also, what a great catch 22, where we can't trust our own experiences! In fact, I just did a study and my findings are that everyone would be happier if they each sent me $100. What's crazy is that those who thought it wouldn't make them happier, did in fact end up happier, so ignore those naysayers!
