Some Amazon employees said they were still sceptical of AI tools’ utility for the bulk of their work given the risk of error. They added that the company had set a target for 80 per cent of developers to use AI for coding tasks at least once a week and was closely tracking adoption.

Our product is so good, we mandate our employees to use it and watch them closely to make sure they do!

I wasted an hour this week expaining to CoPilot why it was wrong and dismissing every suggestion it made in a code review. In all of it, it didn't spot a legitimate problem. It's running at a near 100% false positive rate. I absolutely would not accept a code suggestion from it blindly.

I know it's not the same company, but that sure is a far cry from:

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella on Tuesday said that as much as 30% of the company’s code is now written by artificial intelligence.

Sounds like AI contracts aren't the only thing getting quietly scaled back.
