> If this results in more overall programmers or enabling existing programmers to make products quicker than before, it's a win!
I don't think I really agree with this sentiment. "More programmers" or "faster programmers" is meaningless (or even actively detrimental) if the quality of their output is lower. It's even worse if their output is plagued by subtle bugs, as AI systems are likely to produce.
