Microsoft using AI to generate code

This demo of an ML model generating Python code is impressive, but I’d like to see someone unrelated to the project try it. This strikes me as a “self-driving car” kind of problem… it can look impressive for specific examples, but quickly break down. This is not to say that the demo isn’t cool or that this research has no value, but that I can imagine that this problem is only a tiny bit solved.
