The slope doesn't really matter, because the target is "better than a human, and able to identify and fix its own errors". The slope will decrease as you approach this threshold.

It's also wildly bad to plan to train and fine tune on code that you know has bugs. Already we have Copilot generating code with trivial vulnerabilities because that's what it's trained on.

Roughly ~all code has bugs. We were all trained on trivial examples and buggy code - just like llms.

Honestly I think editing code will be easier than creating wholly new applications to precise spec.
