Guided by humans, code generators which have ingested the worlds’ code and can recognise and generate patterns can be useful tools. I wouldn’t personally qualify it as a wild success as we are early and there are significant downsides.

That doesn’t make them intelligent agents which think independently.

Would you like to see some of my own examples of wild success?

I have a system that entirely reverse engineers old arcade games. Creates semantic symbol mappings that were considered impossible just a couple years ago.

Granted, it took me a couple weeks to build the system.

From impossible to a couple weeks in just a couple years.

Would you like to see it or continue to pretend these things don't exist? Your call.

(It's finding the coolest stuff - the anti-tampering hacks they put into the old machines is fascinating.)
