14% actually seems impactful and about right. I can't say current AI has influenced my work in web dev much, as most of the stuff I do is one of:
- Not well documented, leaving AI with no idea what to do;
- Somewhat complicated where pure boilerplate code from LLM just doesn't cut it anymore;
- Requires a lot more context than current LLMs can handle;
That said, tools like GH Copilot certainly gave me at least 10% boost. With the code often being repetitive (but not similar enough to e.g. be extracted to a separate function) the auto-completions definitely save a lot of time.
While I'm sceptical as to how far LLMs will go, AI as a whole (probably with different architecture in the future) will definitely go far beyond any productivity improvements currently possible.
