Brandon Jones*sigh* This is definitely gonna be my "old man is out of touch with the kids these days" thing. I've seen the kind of code LLMs spit out, and I won't allow my name to be attached to it. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2024/10/google-ceo-says-over-25-of-new-google-code-is-generated-by-ai/
someguyjg@tojiro have you personally seen people using this at work? Seems like a wild number if it's anywhere close to real.
@someguyjg Honestly I haven't? Chrome has always been a bit of an outsider when it comes to development practices at Google, so maybe this is another area where that's true?
David NetoThe 25% number is wildly wildly off base from what I've seen.
Are they counting clang-tidy advice? Probably not and even that would be laughably off base too.

itsybitesyspider@tojiro First I doubt they have any way of actually measuring that 25% number.
Zeh Fernando@tojiro I think this is a case of "auto completion is AI, right?" and counting the characters that get generated, but not the ones that get deleted or changed.
