I'm curious ... how would they even know?
- Alifatisk 13d agoJust thinking loudly here, I guess Co-Author in commits is a hint. PRs where LLMs have been involved is probably another measurement. Github Copoilot has its own account too.
- easton 13d agoThey require disclosure of what tool was used if submitting AI-helped code. (Which probably means this is slightly underreported from people not disclosing.)
- eyikhg 13d agoYeah, I wonder which part of this figure is people doing "let me ask the LLM to do X... aw shucks, that's not how you do X you dumb clanker, fine, I'll do it myself" and not deleting the metadata left by the LLM in the initial draft (a very common scenario in my personal experience). Or people using LLMs for "dumb" large scale changes instead of conjuring an ad-hoc grep+sed script.
