It's not even claiming that. It's only claiming that people who responded to the survey feel more productive. (Unless you assume that people taking this survey have an objective measure for their own productivity.)

> Significant productivity gains: Over 80% of respondents indicate that AI has enhanced their productivity.

_Feeling_ more productive is inline with the one proper study I've seen.

The METR study showed even though people feel more productive they weren’t https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.09089

the MTR study is a joke. it surveyed only 16 devs. in the era of Sonnet 3.5

Can we stop citing this study

I'm not saying the DORA study is more accurate, but at least it surveyed 5000 developers, globally and more recently (between June 13 and July 21, 2025) which means using the most recent SOTA models

Well I feel and I am more productive, now on coding activities, I am not convinced, it basically replaced SO and google, but at the end of the day, I always need and want to check reference material that I may have known or not existed. Plenty of time, Google couldn't even find them.

So in my case, yes but not on activities these sellers are usually claiming.
