We already have AI-generated code. It's just that compilers work well enough to actually use, we understand their limitations, and so we stopped calling microcode compilers "automatic programmers" back in the 80s.
I think we will have useful source code synthesizers for high-level languages at some point in the next few years. They will probably look more like alphazero than gpt-3 though.
I'm not sure that they will be commercially successful. The way you automate away programmers is Wix, not Ruby on Rails program synthesizers.
