"I don't want to do this without AI" sounds like we're already well into the brain atrophy stage of this. Now what? (I'd think about it myself but....)
What really doesn't sound like the results they got where developers may get up to twice as productive on the best scenario.
There's surely something scary there. And the lack of people ambivalent about AI isn't a certain indication it's well accepted as they think, it can just as easily be caused by polarization.
