AI-assisted coding: how to ensure real productivity gains?

Productivity impact: fluctuating from -20% to +20%

Some studied show an AI-assisted coding productivity gain of 20%. One is the Google study (*). 
Others show a loss of 20%. One is the METR study (**).
The METR study interestingly reveals a ‘perception gap’: many developers while slowed down, still believe they are more  productive.
