The samples are pretty impressive, and that's coming from someone who's intimately familiar with the internals of these these kind of models.

From bitter experience, though, I also know how unreliable these models can be. It's possible (indeed, likely) they generated 20 samples, threw away 19 that were garbage and just showed you the one that looked nice.

If - and that's a big if - it reliably generates good-quality code, then it would probably be a nice productivity boost (~25%, particularly when it comes to tests).

Based on what I've seen over the past few years, though, I'm skeptical.
