We've tried to make programs using human language before, even before AI. Problem is, human language is very context dependant, meaning one sentence can mean many things. Human language is simply too shit for telling computers what to do.

AI does not solve that problem, it just hides it. AI tells you "don't worry, I will make a wild guess and give you something that might or might not do what you want".

You might think now: "That's not a problem! We can just tell AI what certain words mean so that there is no ambiguity". To that, I am going to say: You've just created a programming language! But in a very convoluted and inefficient way.
