    I bet they’re counting code written while someone had an AI plugin installed as “written by AI” and I bet that accounts for almost all of that 30%. On top of that, I’m betting that they made it mandatory to have such a plug in, and the other 70% is just code written before they mandated this.

      I would be very surprised if 30% of their code lines had even been touched at all by anyone since AI coding assistants became a thing.

        I wish this shot from The Terminator had the camera showing Sarah Conner’s face instead of Reese’s, because it’d be such an appropriate meme image on multiple levels for when someone makes a misleading claim about some current AI system.

        I could see stuff getting small changes and them claiming that the entirety of the new version is “written by AI”.
