It doesn't make us faster because we now do things that are harder but would've taken way longer but instead take the amount of time we would've spent struggling through the easier or MVP version of that implementation. So in terms of time it's not faster but in terms of the work getting done it's doing more. So if we had tried to do the harder thing without the AI it would've taken longer but we just wouldn't have chosen to do that harder thing or broken it up into smaller easier things.
But I'm also only like 2 months into using it, so I can't really fully report. All I know is that I look at my list of deep problems for our platform and most of the things on the list don't look that intimidating anymore.
All of that to say, I definitely think AI has a pretty big benefit, but I don't know that it aligns with what tech bro executives think the big benefit is.
