How training a system to solve *same* problem may help designing GUI?

[Unless it is translation from a language of specifications into the 
code, which is equivalent to having just another programming language. 
BTW, all sorts of GUI generators were here for decades. None worked for 
production-grade code.]

That is possible, however programming involves another kind of hardware: 
the human brain. That is not going to change. I would rather expect 
programming adapting more to the limitations and weaknesses of 
programmers than to the "metal".
