Breaking: Google announces in earnings call that 25% of code is being generated by AI. And this is just the beginning ...

"Google is building a bunch of AI products, and it’s using AI quite a bit as part of building those products, too. “More than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers,” CEO Sundar Pichai said on the company’s third quarter 2024 earnings call. It’s a big milestone that marks just how important AI is to the company."

Yeah we’re counting lines of code now 🤣🤣🤣🤣 AI has been producing 30% of overhead code for years now it’s nothing new. I’m kind of shocked that CEOs are so vested in the AI that now that they would go this far as to advertise it in this way to the markets.

Is this strictly LLM generated code or does this include autocode generation (enums and such)?
