Paul Dix: AI-generated code will surpass human code next year
pauldix · x · 2026-08-26
Paul Dix attributes the exponential growth of code on GitHub not to a surge in human programmers, but to AI creation. He predicts that by next year, if not this year, more code will be created by AI than by humans. However, he emphasizes that this does not eliminate the need for software engineering expertise; rather, the world will require more computer scientists than ever before.
