@ludonaut@timetheft.rip We're in the process of overhauling these apps by rewriting nearly all of the code in phases. It's becoming much higher quality code with many bugs getting fixed as part of it. That includes fixing upstream privacy and security issues which have been around for years.
Vast majority of experienced developers working at tech companies are using AI. Most of the people applying to us are using them. We have to filter through people who can pass our tests but are too reliant on AI.

@ludonaut@timetheft.rip People using AI models doesn't imply the end result is lower quality. We hired the people who we decided are capable of producing high quality code and being productive with their usual approach to development. For people who made it past our initial screening, we gave test projects and we learned a lot about what they'll produce for us from it. All of the work they're currently doing is clearly massively raising the code quality compared to the starting point of that AOSP app code.
