Sundar Pichai told investors in October 2024 that 25% of Google's new code was AI-generated. By mid-2025, that number climbed past 30%. Satya Nadella said "maybe 20%, 30%" of Microsoft's code is now written by software. Mark Zuckerberg predicted AI would handle half of Meta's development within a year.
Ok, I'm ready to concede that #BigTech's total self-destruction may count as a great achievement for #AI and #LLM.

Over 25% of Google’s code is now written by AI—and CEO Sundar Pichai says it’s just the start

Demand for AI offerings from Alphabet's cloud business helped drive an impressive revenue and earnings beat.

@giacomo besides security problems, probably these claims are also bad for business, in the mid run... if your code is made with AI, it probably means that virtually nothing of what you're writing is peculiar to your business/company... or am I missing something?

It's a little more subtle than this.

#CodingAssistant like #Claude, #Copilot and so forth are not really becoming "smarter" version after version.

The trick there is that these tools steal the code you send them, compress it in the next version of the LLM and give it back to your competitors.

They are basically broadcasters of your corporate value.

Now, to be fair this isn't much an issue for #Google, #Microsoft or #Meta, because they don't really have competitors over actual software. They compete on marketing.

But if you are anybody else, by using these service you are helping your competitors, that will replicate your innovations into their product leveraging your code.
