I'm not saying it won't improve. I think its lack of determinism puts a natural upper bound on reliability - something we don't have to worry about with compilers.
As for examples: Oh wow. As much as I love and use them for coding, almost every project I work on has cases of coming up with complex solutions to a task that do not work, where 1-2 lines of (simple!) code would have solved the problem. It's not just that it fails, but it kept failing even after I told it how to do it right.
Sometimes it does a great job and solves a hard problem for me. Other times I lose a lot of time getting it to do beginner level stuff. It has huge gaps/blind spots.
