Why would you turn down a 2-3x productivity boost?

Nobody is saying we want to "turn down" (although, this would be a discussion between pros/cons if the boost is "only" 2x and the cons could be "this tech leads to authoritarian regimes everywhere)

What we are discussing here is whether this is a true step-change for coding, or this is merely a "coding improvement tool"
