The writer has a clear bias and a lack of a technical background (writing for Techies.com doesn't count) .
You don't have to look hard to find devs saving time and learning something with AI coding assistants. There are plenty of them in this thread. This is just an opinion piece by someone who read a single study.
This opinion is a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of tech journalism screaming "AI software engineer" after each new model release.
if you are already competent and you are aware that it doesn't necessarily give you correct information, the it is really helpful. I know enough to sense when it is making shit up. Also it is, for some scenarios, faster and easier then looking at a documentation. I like it personally. But it will not replace competent developers anytime soon.
