Examples of code cubed wpould be the following instances of /generated code that are already pretty common:- classes generated from a database schema to represent tables- classes generated from an API specification (e.g. OpenAPI)- classes generated from an XSD Schema to represent XML entities

I would say it is well-known among programmers that these kinds of generated code rot very fast and have to be regenerated every time the schema changes. The generated code is very rarely edited by hand exactly because of this.
