This assertion feels misleading. When I worked at a FAANG, 10% of our codebase was generated Protobuf. Obviously, this was highly repetitive boilerplate that was equivalent to maybe a few thousand actual lines of code. What does the 25% of LLM-generated code actually look like? I'm guessing it's doing nothing particularly novel or interesting. (Also, I have to wonder if a large chunk of that 25% could be encapsulated as a more reliable and deterministic abstraction.)
Lol get a grip. Jeff Dean just said 25% of the code being checked into Google's internal codebase is now AI generated. If you think it's just kids using it for homework and engineers saving a few minutes here and there you're kidding yourself.

You seem like one of those people that used GPT3.5 once and hasn't updated at all since then. You're criticizing the wright flyer and we're already at turboprops.
