Really interested as to why you think machines should write code instead, why's that?

Our brain is a computer which was tuned to make us who we are today. It's important: we are who we are because others died in evolution contest. There were others, many of them. But nature selected us. And it was selecting by some measures and we can say that people who were too aggressive or too passive have gone away. So if we can analyze and measure this parameters, then we are countable and human could be presented as a mathematical model and thus digitalized. To be who we are today, we have cultivated a lot of treats. And one of selected treat is desire to simplify and automate things. And the final goal of the automation is automation of the automation itself. And sooner or later we will reach this goal. And when we will reach it, programming will became something like a strange outdated hobby not a work.

AI which will write this programs shouldn't be creative it just should be certain and reliable enough to write safe programs and do what we expect.

I love programming, but I try to keep cold mind and be realistic.
