Funnily enough, there are techniques that allows to go under the Nyquist limit, eg compressive sensing.

I don't like the analogy, it supposed that AI generated code will always be badly organized underneath if it is automatic, however, as time goes, I find the code better and better..

Agreed that it is an analogy, not necessarily a law of nature. However, my takeaway had nothing to do with the quality or organization of the generated code. The "signal" fidelity, so to speak, is the human understanding of the system, which I presume we still value since we would like human evaluation and decision making to drive the direction of change. If we're not making decisions from a foundation of understanding, we may as well include some dice rolls and ouija board advice.
