I don't know exactly where AI is going to go, but the fact that I keep seeing this one study of programmer productivity, with like 16 people with limited experience with cursor,uncritically quoted over and over assures me that the anti-AI fervor is at least as big of a bubble as the AI bubble itself.

Obviously, more studies would be better, and that one study certainly isn't conclusive, but for now it is pretty much what is _available_.

The joy of this particular study (the METR one) is that it maps pretty well to a lot of professional programming work, hence why it gets reported a lot.
