I'm not trying to be pedantic, but how did you arrive at 'keep improving' as a conclusion? Nobody is really sure how this stuff actually works. That's why AI safety was such a big deal a few years ago.

Totally reasonable question, and I only am making an assumption based on observed progress. AI generated code, at least in my personal experience, has gotten a lot better, and while I don't think that will go to infinity, I do think that there's still more room for improvement that could happen.

I will acknowledge that I don't have any evidence of this claim, so maybe the word "likely" was unwise, as that suggests probability. Feel free to replace "is "likely to" with "it feels like it will".
