If AI can write code based on English input then we should be able to feed it a spec and then just deploy to production the output.

And, as always, attempting to code to that spec will expose contradictions, inconsistencies, and frequently produce something that the customer judges as unfit for purpose.

Coding has never been the toughest problem, except in the matter of security attacks.
