A study published in Science suggests AI assisted coding is now woven into everyday software creation on GitHub. The authors tracked Python development over time and used a purpose built detector to flag code that likely came from generative assistants such as ChatGPT or GitHub Copilot . For early career developers, the signal is messy. Newer programmers lean on these tools more, yet the clearest performance gains show up among veterans. In other words, AI tends to reward people who already...
