Fwiw, ai code completion initiatives at Google well predate current hype (ie overall research path, etc, was started a long time ago, though obviously modified as capability has changed). So this particular thing was a very well established program, path, and methodology by the time AI hype came. Whether that is good or bad I won't express an opinion, but it might mean you get a different answer to your question for this particular thing.
