Google CEO says a quarter of the company's new code is already AI generated

"Google CEO Sundar Pichai just revealed that AI now generates more than a quarter of new code for its products... that AI coding helps with 'boosting productivity and efficiency,' ensuring that engineers 'do more and move faster.'"

"According to Stack Overflow's 2024 Developer Survey, over 75 percent of respondents are already using or are 'planning to use' AI tools to assist with software development."

"As AI continues to gobble up coding tasks, human experience starts to dwindle... we could be staring down an ouroboros of confusion where it's nearly impossible to detect bugs amidst generations of AI code."

"The process started its meteoric rise back in 2022 when GitHub widely launched its Copilot program... companies like Anthropic, Meta, Google and OpenAI have all released AI-coding software suites."
