Im not so sure on the AI coding thing, but who knows. Some human labour seems to be a requirement for that to work, because a lot of stuff has to actually be thought about; you need to reason and know what you client needs to do, and then build to software for it to do that thing.
This is because you actively need to ask/query particular things, from particular places/relays. And its the combination of what to ask for where and when that is non-trivial.
Perhaps after there are a number of working examples of this stuff out there, as well as lots of written content about the ideas behind it, that some AI has enough to latch onto and figure it out. But as it stands currently, its not going to figure it out on its own.
