Debugging. Lots of debugging. It will be interesting when the researchers look back in 5-10 years to determine which was easier/better - trying to understand generated code vs generating code one understands.
If a functional reasoning layer is added to the current lookup level, “do you want fries with that?” might be in their “doing”. If this doesn’t appear in a timely fashion, de-slopping code will be their lot.

We don't need to wait 5-10 years, we have plenty of experience with this already! Software devs always want to build their own because building it is way easier than grabbing something someone else built and understanding it!
