Why is a self-improving system so appealing? It is a system that understands its own behavior at a very deep level. It is able to create its own software code and watch itself executing that code so that it can learn from its own behavior. It can reason about possible changes that it might make to itself. It can change every aspect of itself to improve its behavior in the future.
