Are there any independent statistics for how much AI based coding assistants like GitHub CoPilot improve an average software developer‘s productivity?

I had hoped for something around 5%, which is not massive, but still a non-trivial number.

Not sure how AI assistants in other “high value” professions far. Say in legal, healthcare, finance, civil engineering, business consulting to name a few. Does anyone have reliable figures?
