Google AI Studio and Gemini API Product head Logan Kilpatrick says: Thanks to AI, engineers are now

AI is increasingly blurring the line between creativity and engineering, according to Logan Kilpatrick, the product lead for Google AI Studio and the Gemini API. In a widely viewed post on X with over 627,000 views, Kilpatrick described a shift where technical and creative roles are converging. He noted that AI is enabling engineers to think more creatively while empowering artists to build technical solutions, calling the change a positive evolution.

This perspective mirrors a broader view across Silicon Valley, where AI-powered coding tools are reshaping how software is built. Google CEO Sundar Pichai recently shared that more than 30% of new code at Google is now generated with AI support. Similarly, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said that Claude produces the majority of his company’s code. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has taken an even stronger stance, encouraging engineers to move away from manual coding and focus on identifying complex, unsolved problems. During a recent company meeting, Huang reportedly challenged leaders who suggested limiting AI use, emphasizing the importance of embracing the technology.

AI tools are opening development to non-technical users
Kilpatrick’s comments also align with Pichai’s view that “vibe coding”—building software with AI and minimal coding expertise—is making development more accessible and engaging. Professionals in roles such as HR, finance, and operations are increasingly using tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Cursor to create prototypes and automate tasks without traditional programming backgrounds.

A reality check on productivity
Despite the enthusiasm, not everyone is convinced about AI’s productivity gains. Michael Truell, CEO of Cursor—the AI coding platform widely used at Nvidia—has cautioned developers against relying too heavily on AI-generated code without proper validation. He warned that weak foundations could lead to long-term issues. Supporting this concern, a METR study found that AI assistants reduced productivity for experienced developers by 19%, even though participants initially expected improvements.

Even Andrej Karpathy, former head of AI at Tesla and the person who popularized the term “vibe coding,” acknowledged recent limitations. He revealed that a recent project was largely written manually because AI tools failed to meet expectations, adding that the software profession is undergoing a rapid and fundamental transformation.
