this was reported as actually just IDE tab completion back when google claimed this stat last year
- bananapub 1y agogoogle's internal and extremely sophisticated LLM completion thing is driven by IDE tab completion
- dustingetz 1y agoit also drives my gmail sentence autocomplete. it does not mean “30% of my email is written by AI”. It does help me type faster though. Reframing the one as the other is, imo, securities fraud. (I will asterisk that YC startups vibecoding their product is real, but that’s, like, 10^10 lower LOC scale than “all of Google”)
- UncleMeat 1y agoIMO, the key thing that software engineers want to know with these numbers is "is there still an engineer involved." In my mind LLM powered autocomplete that generates a lot of code is just totally different from "PM says they want this feature and the AI generates the entire thing from scratch" in that one amplifies the capabilities of an engineer while the other replaces them.
- dustingetz 1y agowho said anything about LLMs? Did Pichai specify that?
