Things have improved significantly since then. Copying and pasting code from o1/o3 versus letting codex 5.3 xhigh assemble its own context and do it for you.

At some point, the “but everything has radically changed in the past 15 minutes” counterargument to all material evidence that undermines AI marketing has to become boring and unpersuasive.
I humbly propose that point is today.

Since when? You're quoting the timeframe not the period under study.
It's also not a study of just engineers, it's people across engineering, product, design, research, and operations. For a lot of none-code tasks Ai needs pasted context as it's not usually in a repo like code is.
(And their comments about intensifying engineering workload also aren't really changed by ai copy/paste vs context).
