Code generation leads generative AI adoption because it is easily evaluated
“For JDIF AI, like, one of the most common JDIF AI use cases today is coding. Okay, so there are many reasons why coding is popular, and I said, like, one of the reasons is that it's very, it's a lot easier to evaluate coding than, like, other, because, like, h…”
