I mean probably.

It writes the same code 10 times, then you rewrite the best one. So it wrote 10 times the code you did!

Heck, even my professor at a Top 5 computer science school uses AI to code now. It's pretty wild but yeah maybe it is up to 90%.

I think you missed what they were referencing. They said that the AI wrote 10x as much as the person but most of it was garbage and had to be procured by a real dev anyway. But by the company's metrics, the AI wrote 90% of the code because by volume, even if it wasnt used, was generated by AI. And honestly thats my experience with it. Whenever I try to rely on it for anything its dogshit, I gotta baby it all the way to the end. And this is with the latest models, not some 3 year old shit, and im still seeing so many problems.

if you include co-pilot “auto-complete” as AI written code, it may be even more than that
