I think saying all of society is doing it is plausible, but not the same thing as a single human or AI doing it.

Though… still don't think it's true. Isn't "society is self improving" what they call Whig history?

AI might have multiple instances within a single computing environment, so it's more like a population than a single individual.

I.e. "You can only use the memory which you currently use" would be a weird artificial constraint not relevant in practice.
