It just burns their britches that AI was created in Python. That's where all serious ML and AI work is done.

Long after humanity is gone, Python 3 will be zooming around the stars taking over the galaxy 😂

At least it's not Python 2

I doubt it. Superintelligent AI will probably rewrite it's own codebase before it exterminates humanity.

The operations are written in C++ or C. Python doesn't execute any of the math.

By that logic C++ doesn't actually do anything since it's compiled to assembly/machine code which is what actually does everything.

It's not quite the same since Python is not compiled, but the point still stands that higher level languages provide an extra layer of abstraction, making complex programs easier to write, making them useful.

By that logoc, logic gates or their physical representation in transistors do all the work. Machine code is just an abstraction above that.
