Deploying AI vs Expertise Makes Software Engineering 20% Slower

In a month-long experiment, teams experienced a 20% slowdown in feature delivery when using AI coding assistants instead of pure manual coding. When seasoned engineers added AI tools to their sprint cycles, the anticipated time savings evaporated, and new inefficiencies surfaced across the development pipeline.
