Google has a secretive new project that teaches code to write itself.

 "The project is part of a broader push by Google into "generative AI" — and it could have profound implications for the company's future and developers who write code.

• Generative AI, a tech that uses algorithms to create images, videos, and more, has recently become the hottest thing in Silicon Valley. In this case, the goal is to reduce the need for humans to write and update code, while maintaining code quality.
• Doing so could greatly impact the work of human engineers in the future. "The idea was: how do we go from one version to the next without hiring all these software engineers?" said a person familiar with the project when it was at X, the company's moonshot unit.
• When it was spun up at X, the project was codenamed "Pitchfork." It later moved into Google Labs — a transition that signaled its increased importance to leaders, with Google Labs pursuing long-term bets."
