I'm no AI hater but I am getting so tired of the dialogue online I read from people who claim that AI is making developers 2, 3 or 10x more productive.

Google's CEO recently came out with a sobering statistic:

AI has made their engineers 10% more productive. (source)

10%.

This is still massive but no where near the gains we were promised or what our managers are expecting.

Let's explore this myth of productivity and what you, as a developer, can and cannot do with AI.
