Big tech is inflating the AI bubble.
Because of that, I find it hard to fully trust these kinds of claims — especially from complex systems like Google.

There is a big difference between just “vibe coding” without reviewing the code and actually knowing what you’re doing and checking everything the AI produces.
In my opinion, humans don’t really need to write code anymore. The main skill is steering AI models.

Title should have the word "its" rather than "it's"

One possibility is that most of the code that matters is being written by hand, while enormous amounts of code are being generated for other things. People are being evaluated on their AI usage after all.

"AI-generated and approved by engineers" is doing a lot of work there. If accepting a 4-character Gemini autocomplete counts, Copilot users hit >90% last year. The useful metric is % of functions where >50% of the body was AI-written before human edits. just my 2 cents
