In *theory* this improves the mediocre programmers at little cost.

But (and I'm just throwing this idea out there) WTF don't we figure out better ways to train programmers in the first place?

I I love the idea of creating bug-free software automatically. *

But something tells me this is not it.

*The ultimate test for any of this AI stuff is can you use the tool to maintain itself ? Because an awful lot of this make-the-programmer obsolete/more productive/more accurate stuff never tries to do this.

Not exactly a mark of approval for how much its developers trust their creation.
