You know, if you're at the point where you can give a human-readable spec of the problem and the AI can make a passable attempt at it, that's basically the Turing Test -- hence why I think it deserves its status as holy grail. Something that passes would really give the impression of "there's a ghost inside here".

Rather than a ghost, I wonder if we'll ever have the average person looking at brains and thinking "there's a program inside here."

And then to reverse it, imagine that the world really is some kind of massive simulation... and that there are backups of the save()-ed :)
