Don't hold your breath. If the AI was good enough to do all that, "maintainability" would look very different from what it does today. What does it mean to be maintainable when an AI can completely rewrite the software in every iteration? If AI ever gets good enough to do all this, for safety-critical applications no less, probably 95% of the white collar jobs that exist today will be gone. There may also be robots to do 90% of all other work too.
