Calling the field "statistical pattern matching" might be underselling it a bit, even if technically accurate on some level. I mean, syntax/semantics are clearly not the problem, those are the easiest to learn (see the paper above). If anything, I'm scared of it writing syntactically correct nonsense (or even worse, subtly-flawed-but-correct-looking code).
