OK?

That’s AI you fucking retard.

It used to be called code synthesis and was one of the big goals of computer science.
Which is part of why tryhards sperging out about AI is so cringe.

do it, my man

It's called a "V.I.", a virtual indian.

godel proved that that is impossible

The best I've seen in 30 years is a framework where you design the model, push a button and it generates a database, then run the application because it generates a frontend from the model on the fly. All you really had to do was lay out your tables in the modeler and it did the rest.

He can't write a shellcode Quine.

>>108351459
Write a compiler. It’s fairly easy and a lot of fun.

>>108351616
No he didn’t. I bet you’re the kind of retard that reads Gödel, Escher, Bach and thinks there’s something profound or interesting in it.

i was making a joke
i've actually gone through godels incompleteness proofs, they are quite interesting in construction
and i have a copy of GEB, but haven't read it yet

>>108351459
that's really all metaprogramming is and you can use lisp to do it most efficiently!
now you can go do it

>with open("hello.py", "w") as f:
> f.write("print('Hello world')"
>import hello
There's your self writing code. That'll be 5 billion dollars and a Nobel prize.
