Or, you can create a recursive chain of self-modification that adds endless erroring cruft code. AI is great at creating long-winded boilerplate of dubious quality, which is exactly what you wouldn't want from a self-modifying program. It is practically guaranteed that such a program would destroy itself before making anything truly novel.

Aww I love this. AI begat AI Compiler, son of AI. AI Compiler begat AI OS, whom begat a Cloud AI OS again. No idea what any of it means though.

Well, it helps to imagine what the components would do in your head... What do you need me to clarify?

I'm aware of the potential for said program to run into a memory error, however that does not take away from its novel and very possible innovative potential.

Try implementing it. Go get a state-of-the-art AI and have it write a proof-of-concept for you, or talk to a knowledgeable engineer. They will roughly all give you the same answer, which is that such a program isn't functional. Logic collapse is guaranteed whether you use a Markov chain or OpenAI-O.

Polymorphic code isn't future technology, it's just not particularly useful.

I'm sorry but my program is not a logic collapse, nor can I see how it is polymorphic, unless you mean by that that it is not a major existing AI model, in which case then I would agree that that is the case, however would again restate that this novel innovation is practical and effective at what I have stated it is.
Again - can you not write this yourself? What components do you necessarily lack if you can get AI to do the bulk of the work for you?
