I wish AI was never invented, but surely this isn't ture.

I've been able to solve coding issues that usually took me hours in minutes.

Wish it wasn't so, but it's been my reality

    The experienced developers in the study believed they were 20% faster. There's a chance you also measured your efficiency more subjectively than you think you did.

    I suspect that unless you were considerably more rigorous in testing your efficiency than they were, you might just be in a time flies when you're having fun kind of situation.
