It seems like they're going in totally the wrong direction. If program content is predictable based on patterns (low entropy) then that's a sign that our programming languages are too low level. If we want to improve developer productivity then the solution is the same as it always has been: create higher level languages which abstract away all the repetitive patterns.

Tools are relatively low level compared to any single use case or field because they should universally support all uses cases or fields. The more narrow your field or use case is, the fewer resources there are to create a higher level language that abstracts away the details that aren't important for your area, but are important to other areas. In this manner, Codex has enormous potential.
