Since these numbers are made up, I may as well throw my personal anecdote in the ring. I find reading and reviewing far harder with coworkers who are using AI. Tickets contain about 5x as much meaningless junk as they used to, and testing notes - while far more thorough - are often now multiple pages in length. Reviews also contain much more code, people try to do more drive-by fixes because the models can generate those fixes so quickly, and people understand the code they're submitting far less clearly because the model is able to generate fixes they simply couldn't previously.

I feel less productive than I was a year ago, and I don't see my team shipping more features than they were previously. But everyone reports that they're far more productive. I don't get it.
