[Cthulhu_]

And even if the refactor is 100x faster (which is unlikely) - would that work have been done at all without AI? What would the effect be on total speed / througput if it was or was not done? These things get more and more difficult to measure.

What I'm really wondering is how much extra tasks are being done that wouldn't have been done without AI, and whether those actually have a payoff. That is, 100x faster versus not doing the work at all.

I'm hoping some enterprises that collect metrics on e.g. time-to-market, customer satisfaction, revenue, costs, etc will release an authoritative report some day.
