## AI Coding Tools Slow Down Experienced Developers: New Study Recent research indicates that AI coding tools might not be as helpful as they seem. A study by METR discovered that developers using AI tools, such as Claude 3.5, experienced a **19% increase in task completion time**.
This finding reveals a "perception gap," implying that developers might *believe* these tools are boosting productivity while, in reality, they are slowing down the coding process. > The original article was sourced from InfoQ and highlights a study on the effectiveness of AI coding tools.
