The underlying methods seem impractical. GPT-n are an existence proof - it is possible to make parrot like software that generates realistic text. But using these methods it is not practical.
Maybe that is a good thing, maybe a bad thing, but unless there is a breakthrough in methods this is a dead end. Impressive though.

This will just lead people into the equivalent of using the autocorrect answers too often as if you used the suggest feature of a phone keyboard on a sentence. Eventually it just breaks down and stops making any sense. The code equivalent is going to be bugs, security holes, and programmer headaches.

If that future were to exist I bet there would be a meditative/yoga/wellness/hippy movement of people who "get in touch with their roots" of programming after going through a 15 year journey through a desert on mushrooms to regain their ability to think straight.
