> The amount of training data doesn’t matter as much as we thought.
Seems a huge assumption to me. From the data one could equally conclude that JavaScript and Python have lower code quality _because_ the quantity of training data, e.g. more code written by less experienced developers
Don't worry! It'll only get better, as the amount of ouroboros training data explodes.
Weren't we taught that recycling is good?
Seems to be that just like scrum, AI eventually turns terrible code into passable code, and good code into passable code.
We're getting drowned by "good enough". Not "good" mind you, just "good enough".

Any methodology or tool, really. Eventually, we're all just participating in cargo cults.

Well, the AI can at least be constrained to "the code actually compiles, runs, and produces the correct output."
The number of internet answers that can't pass that bar is distressingly high.
