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. :-)
