Great so now the computer will write the program the customer doesn't want because he didn't really know what he wanted when he wrote the requirements. How will this AI piece cope with software maintenance & bug fixes?

Intel 1414i was the best modem ever. It cost around $150 and then Intel killed it because it was cannibalizing their expensive $500+ modem sales.
