Here's my experience so far: ChatGPT saves time writing short functions maybe 10-20 lines. This is maybe 10 minutes a day. ChatGPT helps start/debug things outside my domain where I would normally need to read some guides before even starting. This doesn't happen every week, but when it does, it's hours saved. Copilot saves a bit of time with simple 1-3 line suggestions where you would already know how to write it, or can immediately verify correctness. This is probably 10 minutes per day saved as well. So, on average, I get maybe 30 minutes or so per day saved with close to zero downside. It's not going to make or break a career but it's a good chunk of time.
