> “I’d say maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software,” Nadella said during a conversation before a live audience with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
I think there’s some quibble to be made about “written by software” vs “generated by AI,” but it doesn’t seem like he’s talking about new code, right? He goes out of his way to phrase it “code that is inside of our repos.”
It doesn’t really make any sense, but it does seem to be what he said. Maybe there was some context, maybe it is about some specific repos that was not included in the quote.
You know that because you're in tech. But the average person who is reading the news, and is likely to participate in a large protest in the next few years, would not naturally make a distinction between incremental and extant code.

But, it isn’t “very clear” in any case.
