"If AI users are becoming (let's be conservative) merely 2x more productive, then where do we look to see 2x more software being produced? Such questions all start from the assumption that the world wants more software."
"The release of ChatGPT does not indicate an epochal revolution of software productivity. The spikes in new packages reflect spam and malware floods, not genuine package creation."
"Packages which are not about AI show the same modest secular trend of increasing releases per year, while AI-related packages show some increase."
Despite claims of increased productivity from AI tools, the actual output of new software packages has not significantly increased. An analysis of PyPI shows that while total packages have grown, the new packages released monthly have not shown a substantial rise since the introduction of ChatGPT. Most new packages appear to be spam or malware rather than genuine software. A closer look at AI-related packages reveals some increase, but non-AI packages have remained consistent with pre-ChatGPT trends.
