Ask HN: How much of OpenAI code is written by AI?

Amidst the nascent concerns of AI replacing software engineers, it seems a proxy for that might be the amount of code written at OpenAI by the various models they have.

If AI is a threat to software engineering, I wouldn't expect many software engineers to actively accelerate that trend. I personally don't view it as a threat, but some people (non engineers?) obviously do.

I'd be curious if any OpenAI engineers can share a rough estimate of their day to day composition of human generated code vs AI generated.

This is like asking me "how much of your software is built by the compiler?" -> the answer is 100%.

Ask "how much did you build then?" -> also 100%.

The compiler and I operate on different layers.
