A Hacker News thread dives into the intriguing question of how much of OpenAI's own codebase is actually generated by AI. The discussion ranges from technical speculation to broader debates about AI's role in software development, with users sharing insights, skepticism, and occasional humor.

Editor’s Note: As AI tools like GitHub Copilot become commonplace, it’s natural to wonder if even the creators of these systems are leaning on AI to build them. This thread reflects the curiosity (and occasional unease) around how deeply AI is reshaping the very process of coding—especially when it comes to the companies leading the charge. It’s a peek into how developers are grappling with the meta-questions of their industry’s future.
