"Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company’s code was written by AI."

It can't be 30% by plain math. Just replacing 30% of existing code with new code takes (many) years, and then we include all produced code. If they ONLY used AI to write all code for the last few years, and they wrote it at a high pace, it could *perhaps* be done.

We all know that AI can't write code that good. But sure "up to 30%" could also mean "2%".

Of all *new* code perhaps? Still feels high.
