Except this study is not peer reviewed from what I’ve seen and gathered data in very unscientific ways. There’s no validation of answers and allowed users to just guess how much they feel they’re being more productive. Like go read the questions, it’s a person guessing at time saved. This study holds zero importance in the discussion in my mind because, as said, other MIT studies have shown people are actually incredibly bad it knowing how much time spent changed pre vs post LLM usage.
