Are they including stuff written by intellisence and boiler plate for legacy code?
And its all Teams.
Well that explains a lot
That’s… not something to be proud of.
Is the part that handles images in word
??? No it’s not! Can investors sue because this is such an obvious lie? Pls I have 0.3 Microsoft shares
Are they including code generated to test their own models capability maybe?
I hope that that's inclusive of something like lines of documentation in comment lines.
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.

Sure as hell feels like it!
Code written by software doesn't mean AI unless you ignore compilers
Executives lie to boost profits and justify their decisions, I doubt MS execs even know how much of their code is AI generated just like the ad sales company exec they were talking to in the article
Windows hate train looks fun, but as someone who works in the industry, most of that code is probably just unit tests and boilerplate stuff.
Copilot is decent at quickly writing huge amounts of mostly correct, tedious unit test code, depending on your language/framework. And since Microsoft works with languages like C# and .NET for their native apps, and likely backend too, there is quite a bit of verbosity that Copilot can take care of. Also, documentation might count as well.
No real code is AI-generated. He's just saying shit like this to keep idiot investors happy.
I'd guess it's mostly the AI autocomplete stuff. I.e. you keep on typing until the AI guesses it right then press tab to save keystrokes. LLMs are really bad at making test cases in my experience; they, ironically, can't do the simple but nuanced computations needed to figure out what the output should be given the inputs, or to recognize and test the edge cases.

Well, that explains Windows 11.
