Back when I was a program manager I called for a project to explore using AI to study how experts approach tasks in order to understand what skills they require. We called it automated competency development and recognition (ACDR). Here's a couple of papers from my colleagues based on the concept. Automated competency development has advanced in the years since. This product announcement takes the idea a step further, progressing from recognizing the competency and developing in humans to developing it in artificial intelligence, who then go on to replicate the expert behaviour. Sure, at this stage, maybe it's all smoke and mirrors. But there's nothing inherent in the concept that suggests to me that it would be impossible, especially in narrow domains like software engineering.
