Even if you do the "% of users using Copilot" approach, Copilot was limited to both Visual Studio Code (until today) and an invitation-only program.

The fact that the combo reached 30% of newly generated code doesn't make sense.

The specific claim in the video was % of code being written by early adopters. I can't tell from the video how "early adopters" was defined or how they measured % of code so it's ambiguous. But story should have made it clear this isn't a percentage of all new code.

I hadn't seen the video quote until it was posted above: I assume "early adopters" is those who were accepted into the program and installed it, but yes it's still ambigious.
