Not in my view.
How do you unambiguously define precisely how a program is meant to work, to an AI? You could argue that the only way to do that is by giving the AI a program to read that already does it ...
Most people if writing instructions to the AI will not be precise / analytical enough in their natural language. Suppose the AI was trained on US English; will it also understand the exact same thing in other forms of idiomatic English?
How do you check what it produced actually does what you want?
Some of the problems I've seen include: code that would not work, won't compile, doesn't solve the stated problem but instead what the AI hoped you meant, mixes dialects of languages up.
