As much as I'd love a program to infer my intent to a specific language, I wouldn't think it would help me as much. In my everyday work, most of the time I need to handle edge cases, which need specific instructions for specific scenarios. Once the logic is figured out, the writing part is just minimal.

Machine learning/AI can learn from common cases to infer logic from intent. For such special cases, it may not be as common and need instructions. By then, I may as well write code by hand.

Edit: grammar
