Demand for traditional programmers has likely reached its peak already
What's the nature of this code? I tend to copy and paste 40% of my own code. Config props, inherit something, extend an abstract class. Write several Kafka consumers for various schemas/topics.
Probably some for loop increments generated unit test cases.
Does the code build, more importantly, do something?
People push not only generated files, but even jars. I’m not surprised a large part of code there is not human-written. But I would call BS on 41% AI-generated code (if site generators are not considered AI).
How much of it is generating revenue?
Bold to say percentage without a denominator. OP should state that. Comments should clarify this before judging :)
I’d say half of what goes on GitHub is garbage so that sounds right. You know people need to train the AIs and then provide specs and guide it? That’s engineering.
80% of codes are probably diag logs unit tests etc. You can probably just let AI copy and paste them. The critical code are probably less than 5% and you better review it like hawks.

Stability CEO is a known fraud and scammer. Stop believing that grifter.
