"everybody is held up to one set of rules."

That folks using these pattern matching and regurgitation systems don't realize "Do not delete the code" and "I will not delete the code" have null meaning to a system, other than the value of weights based on the words and letters.

There is no "I" to understand what these strings of letters and words actually mean.

It just regurgitates common pattern completion it's ingested after quantitizing "Do not delete the code". It sees "I will not delete the code" as the most common words/order to follower the inputed words.

AAAAAAAUGH!!!

From the time of throwing bones and looking at patterns in the stars stupid human-apes have wanted answers from something other them themselves.

Using AI to replace experienced coders, we've started down the road of getting rid of US manufacturing knowledge.

40+ years on, tool and die makers, etc are in high demand but 2 generations have not gone into the manufacturing fields in any great numbers because we offshored everything to Asia.

I mean, just the other day:

The real value of hydrocarbons available off earth will be the manufacture of soft/flexible components. All flexible seals, hoses, fabric, etc. will eventually need to be manufactured in space, assuming civilization manages to survive long enough to extend off planet.
