Yeah, I have some related thoughts to this.
Much of the automation happens when you do know explicitly what the goal is. However, for programmers, their job is not turning well-defined steps into valid code but understanding what the goal is from very vague requirements, and that cannot easily be done by a statistics-based ML algorithm.
- xvector 5y agoOpenAI/AI Dungeon, especially the new (paid) model, seems pretty good at turning vague two-sentence prompts into fully fledged small stories with the requisite themes.

Do not deceive yourself thinking that developers solve some incredibly difficult problems unknown to mankind. Your "vague specification for a form" is right now being solved by about 100k other developers. It's not unique.

Nowadays people start their shops on shopify but still hire people to code / customize their needs. It's just not easy to completely replace a human by a more sophisticated product about coding. Your 100k other developers will continue to justify their positions to improve the model though.
