> Google and Meta also boast publicly +30% of new lines of code are AI-generated in their companies today.

You realize that Google and Meta sell AI products, right? So what you cited is effectively an ad campaign. Also the 30% NEW code is likely whittled down to 5-10% added to production after heavy edits. The devil is in the omitted details. :)
