A recent report from Uplevel found that developers using GitHub's Copilot don't see significant efficiency gains and actually introduce 41% more errors in their code.
Uplevel tracked 800 developers, discovering that Copilot didn't improve coding speed or reduce defect rates, contrary to initial expectations by the research team.
Tech leaders are expressing concern over AI tools like GitHub Copilot as these systems, based on large language models, can generate 'hallucination packages' leading to erroneous code.
The findings suggest that while generative AI tools like Copilot are intended to augment productivity, they may inadvertently complicate workflows by introducing additional errors.
