It is not in question that these systems could be helpful in finding existing solutions (which might satisfy more or less simple requirements), but I do not think they'd be capable of true innovation.
Even if an so called AI can define an API and scaffold some code after a complex explanation, its outcome will have to be reviewed. Explanation and review is where I see the future of developers.
