> 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. :)

People put too much stock in “engineers” and “managers”. What we’re really talking about here is in the realm of sociology and psychology.
I think there’s a lot of evidence (just ask anyone in academia) that AI is already diminishing people’s ability to think for themselves.
There’s a lot of power in AI it’s true—but let’s not get blinded by the gold and leave everyone bloodied in the muck.
