We measured it. Here's the receipt:
In React dashboard refactor test, Cursor cut repetitive component rewiring by roughly 55%, from about 45 minutes to 20 minutes. Final review still mattered: it occasionally suggested inconsistent naming, so it worked best with a developer in control.
AI handled the volume. The developer handled the verdict. That's the only version of 'AI-assisted' that actually ships clean.
We ran 8 AI coding tools through real workflows instead of benchmarks. The complete breakdown is in the first comment.
