AI may improve in many ways, but it will never reliably be able to infer what the user is wanting... because many users will not even be able to accurately define the problem.

It's a catch-22. If you can express accurately your need (the problem), then you're likely to be able to implement a solution to that need without an AI helper. In fact, you may find the AI helper to be a greater time cost than if you had just done it yourself. But if you are inexperienced such that you need the AI to help, then you probably aren't going to accurately expresss the need. And as such, you'll end up with "a solution", but perhaps to a problem that is different enough that there will be a net loss in time. Or worse, your AI "solution" ends up in production, and the damage comes later and at higher cost.
