Good to see that I'm not the only one making this argument. I made the 
same argument this week

With the necessary caveats, of course: It'd be better if these AI were 
Open Source AI, as defined. Most importantly, provided this whole thing 
works as promised, since it's too early to tell if the machines are 
capable of maintaining the code generated by themselves.
