I would much rather have an AI that is capable of interpreting what I say as code. So if I say:

Build me a class which computes the larger of two integers.

The AI is smart enough to write it.

Did you watch the video? The AI is interpreting the comments as instructions on what code to generate. That's 95% of the solution, since the comments are just english and there already exists an abundance of NLU models in things like Alexa, Google, etc, that take speech input and produce english output, like the code comments.

You should watch the video. It's closer to what you're suggesting than I think you realize.
