The code it suggests may not always work, or even make sense

Yet more "software development is just coding" bullshit.

Why should a programmer want their thought flow interrupted by some bullshit tool offering up unsolicited random suggestions whilst they're busy carefully creating solutions to domain specific problems? A tool like this could never understand the context in which I'm writing a function or class, nor could a bunch of random from hundreds of other developers ever fit in with my own personal design and programming style, developed over decades. I mean, it might compile and work, but who wants a project of any complexity that contains 50 wildly different programming styles?

Proper coding is design too. Let me know when one of these bots does something actually creative, not just once but consistently.
