I'd be terribly scared to use it in a language that isn't statically typed with many, many compile time error checks.

Unless you're the type of programmer that is writing sabots all day (connecting round pegs into square holes between two data sources) you've got to be very critical of what these things are spitting out.

It is way more scary to use it for C or C++ than Python imo.

If you use it as advanced IntelliSense/auto-complete, it's not any worse than with typed languages.

If you just let it generate and run the code... yeah, probably, since you won't catch the issues at compile time.

I can't help but think that Go might be one of the better languages for AI to target - statically typed, verbose with a lot of repeated scaffolding, yet generally not that easy to shoot yourself in the foot. Which might explain why this is a thing at Google specifically.
