No, it could be true. AI—especially with .NET—tends to generate exceptionally verbose code. Especially if you use “AI best practices” such as telling the AI to ensure 100% code coverage. Then there’s the, “let’s not use any 3rd party libraries, because we are Microsoft” angle.
.NET is already one of the most absurdly verbose languages (only other widely-used language that’s worse is Java). Copilot could easily push it over the top 🤣
All it would take would be for Microsoft to have AI rewrite some of the core libraries.
I don’t even think that 30% figure is true. They’re just inflating it to butter up ai investors.
Microsoft leadership is dogshit but I doubt their devs are… THAT dogshit…
