I'd also add that AI code generation in non-formally-verifiable languages, at places with concurrency requirements like Nvidia, might end up in the short-term creating more hard-to-spot concurrency bugs than before, as developers become incentivized to tab-complete code without fully thinking through the implications as they type.

But AI code generation for formally verifiable programs? And to assist in writing custom domain-specific verifiers? Now that's the sweet spot. The programming languages of the future, and the metaprogramming libraries on top of them, will look really, really cool.
