Larry Ellison: A lot of Oracle's code is now written by its AI models, not people

Larry Ellison says much of Oracle's code is no longer written by humans: "We declare our intent, but the model writes the step-by-step procedure that we commonly think of as a computer program."
The thread frames this as the removal of software's translation layer — knowing what's worth building becomes the whole job. Ellison adds that AI already outperforms humans at medical imaging and drug design, but flags a key limitation: models aren't trained on private data, so intelligence flows to those who hold proprietary data — hospitals, labs, factory floors.
