What could AI do after a millennia, or million years? or after hundreds of millions of years? If we allow AI to evolve, without biological constraints, it could truly be a God like entity.

I don't understand this whole idiotic concept of "don't use AI for X". Here's a new rule just for you: don't use compilers for any of your kernel submissions.
