I once saw an interesting discussion about using machine learning to
generate the code based on a series of tests.  It was predicted, that in
the future, instead of writing algorithms, programmers would be in the
business of defining requirements such that ML processes could generate the
bytecode necessary to make the tests pass.

I can't tell if such a prediction means that Test-first is actually solving
a technical problem, or if that means the people problem is just moved up a
level.
