Now I understand why at each windows 11 update, they introduce more bugs than ever

I bet they’re counting code written while someone had an AI plugin installed as “written by AI” and I bet that accounts for almost all of that 30%. On top of that, I’m betting that they made it mandatory to have such a plug in, and the other 70% is just code written before they mandated this.

I would be very surprised if 30% of their code lines had even been touched at all by anyone since AI coding assistants became a thing.

"Up to" can also be 0%. Why is there even a need to say "up to" here.

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So you are saying up to 100% of their code is written by AI?

[–] superkret@feddit.org 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Up to 100% of all Windows code was written by a Macaque monkey on meth.

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

So you are saying up to 100% of all Windows code is Mac code?

[–] FergleFFergleson@infosec.pub 31 points 2 days ago

Well, that would explain a lot.

I'm also guessing that at "up to 30%" of the company's leadership decisions are being made by AI too.

Yeah that'd explain some stuff. Happy to have switched to Linux

Same. My games even run faster.

They're attempting to make excuses for their inability to create functional software

Not suprised

Fun fact: Nadella has been replaced with an AI agent a couple of months ago and nobody has noticed yet. "Copilot, while I'm away, generate bs on AI adoption and fire a bunch of employees, ok?"

[–] Zink@programming.dev 9 points 2 days ago

Eww. Maybe it’s not really true and Microsoft just wants to remind us that big corporate AI is so legit that all the software you use all day was “helped” by it.

But really for me the issue is the company, not the AI. If I read an article about AI generated code making it into the Linux kernel or some gnu/kde/etc utilities, I don’t think I would worry much because those changes will be reviewed by cranky old nerds who care about the functionality of the software first. I have no such confidence in Microsoft’s processes.

If this were true there would massive databreaches. AI is really bad at keeping private keys private. Not to even mention the default credentials it would use because it doesnt have commen sense to change them

They include tab complete of github copilot which is often as much as a single dot. Same thing they've done with all github copilot stats.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 10 points 2 days ago

Honestly, I'm not surprised.

??? No it’s not! Can investors sue because this is such an obvious lie? Pls I have 0.3 Microsoft shares
