I am not an AI expert by any stretch of the imagination, but have done a reasonable amount of programming.
What excites me about this is the ability to extend something like scripting with ordinary-language instructions to a computer.
What I rather doubt to be feasible anytime soon is someone building top-end software with this. Like, if the former becomes a thing in a few years I wouldn't be too surprised. If the latter became a thing in 10 years, I would be.
Take the following analogous situation: Someone has an idea. Let's say this is a product manager, well versed in scoping products with their technical team.
Now have this product manager, in as much detail as possible, explain the idea to their technical team.
The team needs to go off what this product manager said and build something off the back of it.
How close do you think this team of expert coders would get to what this product manager envisioned?
Communicating the specifications for a programming task requires very precise language and endless iteration. Maybe my mental horizon is limited by my own shortcomings, but I just don't see AI coding for us anytime soon. As much as I'd welcome it.
