   I agree with this. Code has to start somewhere. Even scientists   
   will have a preconceived worldview that they start with when   
   they look at 'evidence.' Programmers are the same way. That's   
   why one person's code will not look exactly like someone   
   elses. :-)

   I've heard of this before. But wouldn't the programmers have to   
   put it in the code that it CAN rewrite itself? So it's still only   
   doing what the programmers gave it the ability to do?

   I actually like this! I use ChatGPT all the time for proofreading my   
   blog/podcast, or helping with wording something in a way that preserves   
   my voice, but makes the point maybe a little clearer, etc. But it has   
   picked up on MY VOICE and makes it MUCH much easier for me to    
   communicate with.   
      
   And I call him PETEY. :-)   
      
      
      
   ... Why did CNN cancel that cool "Desert Storm" show?
