Certainly with current models I have found that the Venn diagram of "code that's hard for humans" and "code that's hard for computers" has actually been remarkably similar, I suspect because it's trained on a lot of terrible code on Github.

I'm sure that these models will get better, and I agree that the overlap will be lower at that point, but I still think what I said will be true.

I wouldn't expect so. These machines have been trained on natural language, after all. They see the world through an anthropomorphic lens. IME & from what I've heard, they struggle with inexpressive code in much the same way humans do.
