0.37x is slower

From the vibe of your comment I assume you mean 1.37x

What I meant is that it takes about three times longer to do something with AI tools than without.

In a real large scale project, it takes longer to get the tool give me the code that solves the problem and will pass the code review. Even if I don't let cursor write code for me, ChatGPT and the rest regularly hallucinates APIs that don't exist.

So during my daily job, I usually just do it myself. I still use them as "better Google", but I always need to double check everything.

I don't think that's an accident.
