High level #programming languages aren't used because they're the natural languages of the machines, they're simply the preferred form of humans to interact with them and with other programmers. So, when we talk about #AI code, what we're really talking about is about making source code, as we know it, irrelevant. Once humans largely get out of the picture, source code is no longer the original blueprint, the beating heart of a program... just an intermediate step in machine code generation. Like bytecode.From this perspective, the #freesoftware and #opensource movements are greatly weakened by AI.
