“Right up until the AI is the programmer”

Show me how that’s happening.

Did you power it with a flux capacitor?

I posted a link back in post 14 of this thread.

Please tell me it is not beyond your Programmer’s imagination to think of the concepts of intuitive AI being applied to programming itself?

If it hasn’t happened yet, it most surely will.

If this means a computer writing programs, who wrote the program that caused the computer to write programs?

Humans, of course.

That does not guarantee, however, that humans will be able to fully grasp and fully understand the working code that such a system would produce.

We can get several Enigma simulators and even get them in an app.

Now to make it better ...

“able to fully grasp and fully understand the working code that such a system would produce.”

Couldn’t be worse than the piles of working code out there now produced by humans.

Seriously, a computer producing its own code sounds like a dog chasing its tail.

I wrote some code a long time ago that generated code. Purpose was to expand a loop into a liner string of statements in order to eliminate the loop overhead.

Sure it could.
And computers producing their own superior designs through
Intuitive AI is already a thing.

Thought experiment: Multiply the current Windows product
code base size and complexity by a 2 to 4 digit number...
Annually. (Intuitive AI generated.)

Then for input data, give it internet access.

The thing about intuitive AI chasing its own tail...
It gets to do it until it finds a way that works.

Quantum resources means it won't take nearly as long.

Give us a concrete example. Also let us know when quantum computing can take a square root.

I watched it. Doesn’t explain what I need explaining.

OK, diving a little deeper...

Application software contributing to its development:

The notion of a process of a data-interpretative synthesis
has already been found in a computational-linguistic
software application that has been created for use in an
internal security context. The software integrates computed
data based specifically on objectives incorporating a
paradigm described as “religious intuitive” hermeneutic
functional to a degree that represents advances upon the
performance of generic lexical data mining.[25][26]

Veeramachaneni and others at MIT developed a machine which
performed comparably to humans in a test of intuitive
intelligence during 2015.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intuition

Quantum Computing resources just make parallel
experimentation and testing, orders of magnitude faster.

An example of Artificial Intuition software coding to go
with the previous example of Artificial Intuition mechanical
design.

It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to see some “There” there.

“OK, diving a little deeper.”

You’re diving into the wrong pool. A lot of fancy sentences but I want to read that quantum computing took a square root, or was programmed in C, or see its assembler language.

Why would you expect any of those things?
None of them apply to the quantum part of Quantum Computing.

Or are the things it DOES and can do, something not to be discussed?
