This may be a bold claim and it's hard to quantify, but based on weekly output I think it has sped up my development by 50%-80%, between researching technologies with chatgpt4, coming up with designs and code, copilot filling in the blanks, and gpt4 helping with troubleshooting. These are things that used to take me hours of scouring the web and docs, time spent on proofs of concepts, and additional trial and error- which has largely disappeared.

With the amount of time and effort saved I generally feel more confident about being able to create scripts or programs to solve problems or create art as a second nature, rather than having to treat each idea as a large project.

Similarly I have seen my brother go from someone who has never programmed to doing beautiful data analysis in python thanks to gpt4, for his own side projects. The speed in which he's learned has really impressed me. Makes me think that this technology will introduce many new programmers quickly.
