> If you need to formally specify behavior, at any point in the pipeline, then we're back to square one: you just invented a programming language, and a very bad one at that.
But what if the "programming language" is not a general-purpose language, but a context/business domain specific language? One that is trained on the core business at hand? What if that "language" had access to all the same vocabulary, project history (both successful and unsuccessful), industry regulations, code bases from previous (perhaps similar) solutions, QC reports, etc.? What if the "business savvy" consumer of this AI can phrase things succinctly in a fashion that the AI can translate into working code?
I don't see it as a stretch "down the road." Is it possible today? Probably not. Is it possible in 5-10 years time, I definitely think so.
