#2> Of course, it’s unclear how exactly Microsoft and Google are measuring what’s AI-generated versus not, so these figures are best taken with a grain of salt.
This does seem to me to be the key question, is anyone transparent about this? If not, why not?

Why not?
They want companies to buy their AI enabled slop.

Wouldn’t being transparent with how effective it was at writing code be a good sales tool?

#7this was reported as actually just IDE tab completion back when google claimed this stat last year

#8I swear it's as if the entire last 5 years of AI hype and sales were fueled by drugs.

#10really really really depends on what sort of code is being 'written'. 20 years ago, IDEs would automatically create boilerplate getters and setters. In large projects that's a non-trivial amount of code. IDEs can autocomplete stuff already. For most of the folks I know doing non-trivial projects, AI tools are... useful autocompletes, but not much more. So... 25% of your code was done by AI but is it the hard nitty gritty stuff? The value prop of your whole company? Or is it just lots of boilerplate that is necessary because of all the abstractions we have at our disposal today (or... all the abstractions that are required to do anything 'modern' to use a negative light on it)?
