That was exactly what UML wanted to do, and it almost never worked out in practice.

Seems to be just a rehashing of the same idea but instead of XML, and diagrams, it's now some free-text to be interpreted by LLMs, so much less deterministic and will probably fail just like UML failed.

People also tend to forget about Peter Naur's take on "Programming as Theory Building" [0], the program is, in itself, the theory of what's implemented. A spec cannot replace that.
