I agree the claim isn't going to happen.

> Which rather begs the question: who the hell is the audience for this?

In my opinion audience for code-generation AI are developers, not the general public. It's immensely useful to be assisted by AI to autocomplete and suggest my code. Whether that is because I'm not familiar with a language syntax or just don't have all the language API in my head.

The general public isn't going to have a clue how to put things together, and until AI can generate reliable and fully functioning code I doubt this is ever going to be for the general public. AI right now is essentially the combination of Google+StackOverflow for me but in a much faster pace. Instead of browsing through tens of SO questions and Google links to get to the exact situation I'm in I can just prompt the AI with all the details and get one response that has the answer to my problem, usually!
