Wait until it's time to maintain all this autogenerated code. It's going to be a nightmare.

Don't worry, the most common bug fixes will become part of the suggested code, so when you start writing patches, Copilot will have great suggestions. And then when you have to fix the new bugs, same deal.

The real nightmares will revolve around changing requirements. That's where a statistical analyzer is not going to be smart enough to know what's going on, and you're going to have to understand all this autogenerated code yourself.
