I'm not saying this vision won't eventually happen, but I see some barriers here: - We'll want human engineers reviewing and testing the code generated by the AI. - We'll want human engineers building a better, higher quality training sets - I suspect AI will run into the same issues that humans do when making changes to complex existing code bases. - We'll want better languages and libraries for the AI to program in - This may all be well and good for standard types of applications, but I wonder how well it will work for novel types of computing - None of this will solve the problem of needing to clarify our ideas (https://xkcd.com/568/ https://xkcd.com/568/)
