#12Given all the bugs with each update doesn’t seem to improve the quality.
MS AI is trained on existing MS code = bug multiplier.

#13You know, there's a really obvious, snide comment to that. But instead I'll just say I'm curious about the next Windows edition. Traditionally it would be time for it to be the "not as terrible" one, which many currently on W11 would probably welcome with very, very open arms. Would that still hold? Would there even be a Windows 11? (or, by MS naming schemes, Windows Series W or something)
next would be "Windows AI"

#141. Has the total amount of code risen, such that the amount of human code is unchanged? 2. What's the bug rate like from AI code? is MS investing the time to check this code, or assuming it is correct? 3. Who writes the test cases? 4. 30% in what terms? number of lines of code? number of commits? what code is in play here? bulk test code, which is huge and per-line very low value, or is this serious, difficult, compl…
These are the questions I came here to ask.

CoPilot Windows OS, running on CoPilot+ PC, obviously.

#17Sorry if this is unrelated.
I still remember as a 25yr old programmer in England, attending a job in what was basically a porta-cabin in the countryside around Birmingham. Inside all the walls were covered in 1980s "Hang in there" motivational posters, only they were originals and it was unironic ( it was like a time capsule ). After shocking the boss by agreeing to a cup of water offered by the secretary which caused a massive problem as they had no glasses, the over weight boss sat me down and asked me:
"What percentage of windows is written in C++?" The position was for web development...
I guessed correctly ( it was about 40% ).
I then apparently failed the interview as he suddenly asked me if my girlfriend wanted to interview for the position ( there was no indication she was even in the field of CS ).
The moral of the story is apparently the code ratio of Microsoft products is a big deal to random middle managers in the black country. ( Thats what the region is called because the soot from coal mining would blacken the landscape - yes its what Mordor was based on by Tolkien).

#18Written by software != written by AI. But CNBC has to pump.

#19Translated: same engineers are more productive by using IA.
You can produce lot of code with zero or negative real productivity

That's still a huge indictment towards the languages/libraries they're using.
