Real work is more than making snippets of things. At my last employer, changes were requested every single day, in large and small ways, requiring insane amounts of reworking previous ideas in the codebase on a continuous basis without breaking everything. I wonder how well this AI would do on an entire application that wasn't predetermined. That might take much longer to achieve than solving small problems. I imagine an AI in that kind of environment inventing Skynet and doing us all in.
