That's the same figuring a lot of business folks had when considering off-shoring in the early 2000s - those companies ended up hiring twice as many senior programmers to sanity check and correct the code they got back. The same story can be heard from companies that fired their expensive seniors to hire twice as many juniors at a quarter the price.

I think that software development is just an extremely poor market segment for these kinds of tools - we've already got mountains of productivity tools that minimize how much time we need to spend doing the silly rote programming stuff - most of software development is problem solving.
