Shouldn't the one who has produced this code be responsible for making sure the integrity of it? 5k LOC in a day without test cases, then that is no code, it is a disaster.
I think the marketing here is about right. This is no AI programmer, but Copilot. It is an intelligent assistant that does some mundane things for you with probability of failing some of that even, but when the stars align, you are in luck.
I see this as INCREDIBLY useful for certain niche of programming:
1. Front end. Some components are really trivial but still requires some manual rewiring and stuff, this could be the life saver.
2. Templates for devops. Those are as soul crushing as possible, and I couldn't think of a better domain to apply Copilot to it.
Overall, this is a huge win for programmer productivity, with reasonable compromises.
