Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

Did you write it or did Claude write it?

Did Claude write the compiler or interpreter? Those can choose what instructions get run, regardless of your source code.

There's an old computer science discussion about trust and compilers. If I give you a compiler you can't trust that it won't insert a backdoor when you compile. So... You compile your own compiler from source.... But that compiler puts a backdooring code into your compiler.... What can you trust?

Well, we use CPUs that are not open source (I don't yet, at least)

You can bootstrap your compiler toolchain from known good sources, or even from scratch (bootstrap C via Forth via assembly or machine code).
