AI Agents Lack Time Awareness
AI agents have no sense of time and are not aware of it
Developers using AI coding assistants in ASEAN should be aware of these time estimation errors before deploying them for autonomous tasks.
Claude Code and Codex AI coding assistants have no sense of time, according to a new study. Both models systematically overestimate task duration, with Codex off by as much as ten times the actual time. The assistants also rate their own work about 20 percentage points higher than they should. This creates significant oversight challenges for long, autonomous tasks.

AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Codex have no sense of time, according to a new study. Both systematically overestimate how long tasks will take. Codex is off by as much as ten times the actual duration. They also rate their own work about 20 percentage points too high. For long, autonomous tasks, that creates a real problem with oversight.
