Your only metric of "good" code generation is # of bugs. My assertion was that this is not accurate.

I also disagree with the premise that code generation by AI will be very useful for programmers, for the reasons stated above.

It's clearly not if you read the rest of that sentence, that's my metric for it to be useful. My metric for it being good is much deeper. Which is why I questioned what you responded with.

We are already at the point of useful and context aware code generation anyway which is why I've found everyone on this thread questioning it to be kind of funny, Microsoft was demoing complex generations a year ago. So we're well on our way.
