Probably by counting produced lines of code, regardless their correctness or maintainability.
And that's probably combined with what John Ousterhout calls "Debugging a System into Existence", which is, just assuming the newly generated code works until inevitably somebody comes with a bug report and then doing the absolute minimum to make that specific bug report go away, preferably by adding even more code.
It seems like a good way to actually determine productivity would be to make it competitive.
Have marathon and long-term coding competitions between 100% human coding, AI assisted, and 100% AI. Rate them on total time worked, mistakes, coverage, maintainability, extensibility, etc. and test the programmers for knowledge of their own code.
That what I thought. Each line of generated code even if deleted afterwards. Or have someone try to get as high as possible in a single trial
