Could an AI coding assistant understand what you want it to code on line #?

An interpreter understands what machine instructions you want it to execute at line #. Which seems to me pretty close to what you describe. I mean programming with a natural language interface seems possible but lacks the precision and so programming would probably wind up with a technical language for instructing to behave predictably and I am back at interpreters and programming languages.
maybe adding voice to vim commands would achieve the same thing.

but who'd want to be in the same office as someone talking to a computer all day.
