A lot of convoluted explanations about something we don't even know if it really works all the time. I feel like in the third year of LLM-Hype and after reminde-me-how-many billions of dollars burned, we should by now not have to imagine what 'might happen' down to road, it should have been happening already. The use-case you are describing, sure sounds very interesting, until I remember asking asked Copilot for a simple scaffolding structure in React, and it spat out something which lacked half of imports and proper visual alignments. A few years ago I was excited about the possibility of removing all the scaffolding and templating work so we can write the cool parts, but they cannot even do that right. It's actually a step back compared to automatic code generators of the past, because those at least produced reproducible results every single time you used them. But hey sure, the next generation of "AI" (it's not really AI) will probably solve it.
