We can only guess what products you use, but I'll take a stab by naming some big ones:

Spotify - https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/12/spotify-says-its-best-deve...

Netflix - https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/22/netflix-all-in-on-leveraging...

Stripe - https://stripe.dev/blog/minions-stripes-one-shot-end-to-end-...

Discord - https://discord.com/blog/developing-rapidly-with-generative-...

These are grown and stable platforms now getting additions with the help of AI (which is not wrong) but they are not built by one.

Its like saying you live in a 3D printed home because you added a 3D printed decoration + the house is structurally stable == its a stable 3D printed house.

This is goal post moving; partially built still means built.

Yours a partially smart take for sure.

It is, hence why it's right.

Beyond this i don't think it's wild to assume that somewhere between 70 and 90% of all software has heavy AI involvement. It would just be foolish not to

You can even assume 120% is.
