Calculator version 2 using AI Python

Using a few AI large language models to produce a Scientific calculator very quickly. Shows the power of code copilot. This is a large button calculator for those with poor eyesight. Code listing is in Python and I put it in the first comment.

I see now how Geordi La Forge was able to program the Enterprise so easily! The computer doing its own programming.

Sci Fi and fact are getting closer by the day. A robot that needs to change software for a manipulator might well create its own code! Humans would have to prevent it from updating itself. at present of course it has no consciousness but it is thought in a few years......

@@TJMoir Where we're going to get to first is where an AI decides it needs a type of function and writes it. What it does from there, and how quickly it advances off that point, really is the stuff of Sci Fi. Terminator etc. where the AI takes over, but it's not the first. Look at Colossus: The Forbin Project, or even War Games.
