The article mentions the following without any specific citation:

> Google, for example, has highlighted the efficiency gains from AI that autocompletes code, as it lays off thousands of workers.

Does anyone here have a reference for this? Is this from a particular press release?

The two statements are not related, except by the journalist trying to infer they are.

It's a total guess and most likely the wrong one.

They're talking about the completion assistants that any software engineer has. When I write my code, a small army of completion assistants yell possible textual completions around me. I pick one of them and move on.

Copilot has made it possible for me to fire my completion assistants.
