The study said 86.66% of the generated software systems were "executed flawlessly."

But...

Nevertheless, the study isn't perfect: Researchers identified limitations, such as errors and biases in the language models, that could cause issues in the creation of software. Still, the researchers said the findings "may potentially help junior programmers or engineers in the real world" down the line.

So… they failed 13.34% of their own unit tests?

That’s a B+! Fire all our engineers immediately.

Ah, there's the dream they're chasing. Chatbots write the code for free, and junior devs play janitor to the robots and fix it up. No more expensive senior devs! The savings can be used as an executive bonus.

And when the reviews are terrible and end users start reporting unreal quantities of bugs, they'll fire the junior devs. They should have fixed those!
