Microsoft CTO says 95% of code will be AI-generated in 5 years

Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott apparently just said:

"95% of code is going to be AI-generated (in the next five years)," Scott said. But before developers start panicking, he reassured that “it doesn’t mean that the AI is doing the software engineering job…. authorship is still going to be human.”

Panic? Never been a better time to start a company focused on cleaning up bad code and aiding broken organizations and then billing by the hour.

Anyone who still believes the quantity of code one owns is an asset and not a liability is a fool.
