How is that obviously proprietary? Aren't you implicitly assuming that the AI couldn't have written it on its own?

The idea that something that can't handle simple algorithms (e.g. counting the number of times a letter occurs in a word) could magically churn out far more advanced algorithms complete with tests is⦠well it's a bit of a stretch.

It's terrible at executing algorithms. This, it turns out, is completely disjoint from writing algorithms.

It cannot do anything on its own, it's just a (very complex, probabilistic) mechanical transformation (including interpolation) of training data and a prompt.
Advertising autocomplete as AI was a genius move because people start humanizing it and look for human-centric patterns.
Thinking A"I" can do anything on its own is like seeing faces in rocks on Mars.
