Ambiguity in requirements is where the majority of bugs come from now. So I don't think AI would improve things.

Assuming a (hypothetical, doubtful) AI as good as a human programmer, I think the advantage becomes speed. Think of it like a REPL that you program in English. Patching ambiguities with "Oh, I didn't mean X, I meant Y" becomes the work of minutes, not hours.

In this case, you don’t really need AI. People like Forth and Lisp because you can built an efficient DSL which you can converse with. What people have trouble with is formalism, and logical and abstract reasoning.

Exactly. There will be a lot less of the "we will have to look into it" 2-day lag time.
