You just made it less attractive to the target corps who are to buy this product from Google. Saying, intellisense means corps already have license of various of these and some are even mostly free. Saying AI generate our 25% code sounds more attractive to corps, because it feels like something new and novel and you can imagine laying off 25% of the personnel and justify buying this product from Google.

When someone who uses a product says it, there is a 50% chance of it being true, but when someone far away from the user says it, it is 100% promotion of product and setup for trust building for a future sale.

Looks like it's an impressive autocomplete feature, yeah. Check out the video about halfway down here: https://research.google/blog/ai-in-software-engineering-at-g... (linked from other comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41992028 )

Not what I thought when I heard "AI coding", but seems pretty neat.

> I don't write code as I'm a sysadmin. Mostly just scripts.

.... so what do you put in your scripts if not code?

The colloquial difference is a few lines, maybe a dozen or two, for maintenance and one off stuff, not a full blown application.

Don't disagree. But I think it's pretty accepted that sysadminy scripts and full blown applications are different. Just don't want to give the wrong impression that I know what I'm talking about I guess.
