A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

That 30% code written by AI part seems extremely doubtful. A lot of companies are signaling this nonsense to make themselves seem modern when in reality it makes them look weak.
Microsoft is one of companies providing AI so they want the hype.
30% of all NEW code seems plausible to me.
Or at least developers whose performance evaluation mandates AI usage and 30% sounds like a good number that's not so big as to make management think they can just lay them off but not so small as to tank their performance review.
It's almost certainly mostly "honor system", from what I've seen they can tell how much code is generated but not how much actually lands in a code repo, except by self reporting.
