alt Hacker NewsThere's no "productivity growth attributed to AI" -- yet.
I think we've gone beyond anecdotal evidence of experience engineers finding true value in this new tech. It may not have registered yet, but skilled people are unequivocally finding value in these tools.
I agree that we have yet to settle down on the true costs involved (which will probably end up at "slightly less than a junior engineer" or something like that) - but we are months beyond the idea that it's all smoke and mirrors and no one is getting value out of it.

I think part of the problem is that it is such a generic catch all term:
- AI will replace all workers (unlikely today) - AI speeds up programming (yes today)

Sure, whatever. That would be anecdotal evidence.
There’s a difference between the engineer getting value and the firm.
It can be true that the engineer is more productive but the end result is the firm is in a net negative state.
