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
Likely a lot of manpower were focused on that, and/or the employees rather wrote their own code then lied about the AI use (heard a lot about it).

Year of the Linux desktop
(Amusing sidenote: my autocomplete's first suggestion after 'Linux' was 'propaganda'.)

Are they including stuff written by intellisence and boiler plate for legacy code?
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.
And how many times was all that code rewritten?
Would be interesting to see how they measured that metric. Are they tagging individual lines as AI generated?
What those lines are too would be interesting, AI as auto complete is less dangerous than complete generation, but probably also less useful.
AI as auto complete is exactly what I was thinking.
I've seen lots of cases where AI appears as an auto complete suggestion and I can just hit and it finishes the current line. It's essentially filling in the boilerplate text. Heck in some cases it isn't even right, but it's close enough that I can change a few values.
I also want to point out that this isn't particularly new technology. This existed before AI. It has perhaps expanded more, but it isn't a revolutionary improvement, it's an incremental one. So when we talk about usefulness, I think it is actually more useful.
Now if it could do all the magic planning and thinking, that would be more useful, but we're not there yet.

I hope that that's inclusive of something like lines of documentation in comment lines.
