I'm feeling quite confident that AI won't be able to produce quality code in the foreseeable future. Because the bottleneck is not technology, it's people and incentives.
Firstly, people don't agree on what good code is (developers who get paid by the hour tend to favor complexity so they think good code is complex code), secondly, AI companies have an incentive to produce more tokens; this works against good architecture since good architecture would cost fewer tokens to maintain. Thirdly, many decision makers tend to conflate complexity with intelligence, hence they are more likely to prefer complex solutions over optimal ones.
