> The GenAI tooling is allowing me to do things that I otherwise wouldn't have time to do, which objectively to me is a clear win. So, I'm going to look at a study like that and pick it apart, because it doesn't match my objective observations.

What do you think the word "objectively" means?

Ahh, we've reached the point in the discussion where you're arguing semantics...

"With a basis in observable facts". I am observing that I am getting things done with GenAI that I wouldn't be able to otherwise, due to lack of time.

While you were typing your message above, Claude was modifying a 100KLOC software project in a language I'm unfamiliar with to add a feature that'll make the software have one less rough edge for me. At the same time, I was doing a release of our software for work.

Feels pretty objective from my perspective. Yes, I realize from your perspective it is subjective.

If you're in the habit of using words to mean the opposite of what most people usually use them to mean, it's not surprising that you find yourself in semantic arguments often.
