- A Reddit rant argues that "X% of code written by AI" headlines are meaningless: AI output ranges from unreviewed slop from one prompt to deeply human-driven design and refactoring iterations.
- The author also resents that substantial human work in UX/UI and codebase design gets dismissed as "a few prompts."
- Warns laypeople misread such stats as "only 10% of work left for humans."
