      Maybe the reality is that 80-90% of their programmers actively use tools like Github Copilot and the CEO got really excited about what that might mean. I mean, how could he possibly measure this?

        The figures that fortune 500 companies give for how much of their new code is AI generated are also wildly exaggerated, likely for similar reasons. It makes investors fork over cash for the near term. They’ll all lean on plausible deniability when it all becomes obviously untrue.
