My 2cts.
I'm inclined to think that this is mostly a replacement of existing
fancyness in the realm of code completion and the use of templates.
The study does not say anything about that.
Also, I wonder how accurately they can determine how the code was written
since, well, the generated code is constructed using statistics based
on code originally written by humans.
Furthermore, quite a lot of code these days is reformatted to comply
with guidelines, especially Python-code, which makes identifying
AI-generated code more difficult.
The modified tooling costs quite a lot more CPU-cycles and memory,
but doesn't bring real advancement (FAFAIKS), but quite a lot of people
cannot escape it since certain IDE's make in inescapable
(MS's VS for example).
