How much cost reduction does 30% ai written code translate to? It's easy to imagine that ai doesn't write the most expensive lines of code. So it might correspond to 10% cost reduction.
10% is nothing to scoff at, but I don't think it should factor into the decision to rewrite existing packages or trust third parties if you're very security minded.
AI-writing has the cost of human orchestration, debugging, review. Code is now cheap to write, but for there to be a net efficiency gain, those other tasks have to not bloat too much.
