How long is that though? Decades? More? How do you train a neural net to take a vague description of a desired outcome and produce results that fit the requirements? We are no where close to the general AI that would be required.

I certainly believe that classes of automation problems will be done by machine learning but I have a very hard time believing all programming tasks are going to be replaced any time soon.

Interesting point about how long it will take to train. It makes me think that the way we look at sprints and fast-iterations today may work in AIs favor.

Build this -> builds -> fix this -> fixes -> change this -> changes.

Essentially, this is a learning model already.
