It's a 10x in areas where I'm not very good/experimented at. Or perhaps even more. For example I'm mostly a backend developer, I used to be a full stack dev a long time ago so I know how to make front-end but my knowledge there is outdated, I've forgotten half of it, it takes me time to get back to it. I'm also not good at creating a web UI so in the past I was using frameworks like Bootstrap or Foundation, leading to sites that looked good but very generic.

Now with AI, I can easily create a nice looking front-heavy web app.

See this for example: https://github.com/erwan/sovereign-cards-database

I would never have bothered doing that without AI.

In areas I'm more familiar with, like back-end software, it's maybe more of the 2x or 3x.
