The study is two months old (March 13, 2026).
Edit: Also, it's about writing not coding and it's point isn't that time isn't saved but even with time saved at the task, you don't get a broad decrease in total worked time for many/most workers.
- mythrwy 4mo agoRight but it looks back well before that.
- strangescript 4mo agoThe study is "new", but the data they are using is old. It has references GPT-4 for god sake.
- czinck 4mo agoThe study was published in May 2025, and then revised in March 2026. It's based on data through December 2024, so virtually useless for saying anything about today. Given that, I actually think the conclusions of the article are backwards. If the gpt-4/gpt-4o era had a measurable 3% improvement in productivity, how much more improvement are we getting from models today that are way way better?
