> isn't this fair? We are talking about hear say anecdotal evidence from some influential people in the industry. The people mentioned in the comment I responded to have influence to organize certain research. Some measurements (even if not ideal) can point to 20x vs 0.1x speedup differences at least. I indicated that there is at least some research pointing that developers (experienced or not) often overestimate the gains of using AI. There are a lot of other things that may prompt people to say things regarding emergent industries, for example investments into the AI industry. I am interested if the claims are real or perhaps overstated. Therefore I asked what kind of information this is based on. This is how science works compared to marketing claims. Hypothesis lead to experiments that result in measurements that lead to a conclusion. But as of now I still didn't even get a link to the statements supposedly made by these influential developers, this is the rhetoric with a lot of claims around AI especially. And therefore I am still skeptical about such claims until I see some concrete evidence. So I would say yes it is fair to ask if they measured their results to back up their claims, especially if they are influential developers.
