We use the term "automatic programming" to mean "generating code from <natural language>".
The ultimate high level of which is of course to program with:
> computer, make <money>
which is basically the goal of <artificial general intelligence>, especially according to <The Employment Test> definition of <AGI>.
The term has not always had that sense:
> automatic programming has always been a euphemism for programming in a higher-level language than was then available to the programmer
sums it up.
But in the current <AI boom>, this is the sense that matters, so that's what we will go with.
