Its surpriaing to you that a talented person is more productive than a drone, regardless of whether ai is used or not? Which plane of existence do you live on?
I know people who code dedicated CAD systems from scratch without ai, and people who struggle to code password hash verifiers with chatGPT on the desktop. The former did it in a month, while the latter was at it for a week, refusing help the whole time.
