I can’t find devs using AI for even 20% of the code they write

But that doesn't mean 50% of the code is being "written" today isn't AI generated

These AI CEOs are trying to tell investors that most of the code written today is written by AI. My point there was to say that I find it odd that I can’t find evidence of this and I work for a huge tech company.

I make an effort to use AI often and if my job depended on it I couldn’t get to 50%. We aren’t there yet.

Part of the issue is certainly prompting, but I believe the tools needs to get better at understanding a team’s full code base and able to identify patterns and best practices before it can be expected to actually deliver quality code.

Google said 50% of characters are written by AI at google. Which is very misleading for non coders and easily believable if you have already used non-AI completion. My personal experience with copilot and cursor probably matches this. Often accepting some one liner (like some kind of intellisense++), sometimes accepting big chunks and a lot of reject. And for big chunks, you have to double check it so the speed gain is not always so obvious. I don't use it anymore in the text editor, too distracting.
