Yeah AI is going to reduce productivity in programming. AI is awful and produces spageti code that takes longer to debug than to code from scratch. Googles AI is such a joke Google is forcing people to pay for AI by bundeling, Micro$oft does the same. 95% of AI is a fraud.
I've used copilot and it gives wrong answers about 20% of the time. I was trying to make a CI/CD pipeline in Azure Devops to build embedded firmware, and it ended up taking longer using copilot due to it giving wrong answers instead of me just searching myself. I think it still has a long way to go for coding.
Another issue is that it searches it's resources for answers, so I am not sure it is really good at coming up with new and unique ideas or solutions. Just compiles what others have already done.

It's auto-complete of simple short work with with subtle errors.
It makes the same errors repeatedly.
It can work as a more precise search or classification tool

It gets all fucking confused. It still helps though.
