Burkov: name one Google-scale software built by AI in the last 3 years
burkov · x · 2026-09-14
ML researcher Andriy Burkov issues a sharp challenge: name a single piece of software on the scale of Google or Microsoft that was AI-built in the last three years — and that isn't an AI interface or an IDE for building AI.
The rhetorical jab targets the gap between 'AI will replace software engineers' narratives and actual output: AI-built software success stories remain at the tooling and small-project level, with no example yet of a massive software system.
