"Amazon CodeGuru is a machine learning service for automated code reviews and application performance recommendations. It helps you find the most expensive lines of code that hurt application performance..." I suspect if AWS is using customers code bases to train its AI models? Another source is to scavenge open source repositories.

"CodeGuru’s machine learning models are trained on Amazon’s code bases comprising hundreds of thousands of internal projects, as well as over 10,000 open source projects in GitHub" - from the article.

Oh no, the code quality is going to be shit.

They might be superficial, but if they did any sort of supervised training (I'm assuming they did), then they probably won't be wrong.

Could Amazon really have that many internal projects? That doesn't seem right.
