I think the productivity gains greatly depend on the coding task at hand. You could reasonably design a study that shows AI gains and slowdown depending on the task
I agree with this. But also, part of what made the original study interesting is the DISCREPANCY between perceived vs actual productivity, as opposed to which method "won."
It implies that even if some tasks are better with AI that it might not be so simple for us to judge which method is better for which task.
