Comment on Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch
PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 2 weeks agoI disagree. It feels like your making this assumption from the point of view that people using AI to develop turn their whole brain off and let AI take the wheel. Any dev I know using AI uses it as a time saving measure, i.e. advanced autocomplete, or to assist with troubleshooting as a form of advanced search engine. Also you would have no need to give the AI the actual key itself, at most you would give it the title of the variable the key is saved as. Also major companies tend to have fail safes in place in their pipelines checking to see if private codes are ever made public and then they just change the code.

I find it hard to believe because I work at an adjacent company who has made similar claims and it is complete bullshit.
I do think there is some about of “AI provided a smart complete and the developer hit ‘tab’ to take the changes” equalling “this code was written by AI” in some metrics that go to the execs. And since the execs mandated high AI use everyone is fine just saying they have high AI use regardless of how true it is.
