Like everything genAI, it was amazing yet surprisingly crappy.
Yes, the bear is definitely dancing.
But a few feet away there's a world-class step dancer doing intricate rhythms they've perfected over twenty years of hard work.
The bear's kind of shuffling along to the beat like a stoner in a club.
It's amazing it can do it at all... but the resulting compiler is not actually good enough to be worth using.

No one has made that assertion; however, the fact that it can create a functioning C compiler with minimal oversight is the impressive part, and it shows a path to autonomous GenAI use in software development.
OK, but don't you see where this is going? The trajectory that we're on?
