In the #Insight into potential of computing devices section of the article, there's a claim that "Most modern computer scientists argue that this view is outdated and that computer software can develop in ways that cannot necessarily be anticipated by programmers.".
It does have a supporting citation, although I admit that I have not yet requested access to the paper.
I tend to challenge the idea that generative Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models are software that is developing unpredictably; I believe it is software that is not engineered with repeatable results as a priority requirement, and with training and query inputs that vary rapidly -- creating the appearance, but not actuality, of output creativity.
From what I understand about the emergent nature of most LLM features, it likely is software that is developing unpredictably due to the fact that we don't know if any other similar features or capabilities could emerge. Rainunderthebridge (talk) 02:49, 17 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

En 2025, el Politécnico de Milán bautizó una nueva residencia de estudiantes en Cremona con el nombre de «Residencia Ada Byron» en honor a Lovelace. La residencia se ubica en el antiguo claustro restaurado del complejo Ex Caserma Manfredini y ofrece alojamiento para hasta 143 estudiantes, incluyendo habitaciones accesibles. La misma universidad ofrece una licenciatura en Ingeniería de Sistemas Informáticos en el Campus de Cremona, reflejando así el legado de Lovelace en la informática y la educación. Si es posible, agregue también la siguiente imagen junto al nuevo párrafo: Archivo:Residenza Ada Byron Campus di Cremona Politecnico di Milano.jpg ~2025-32830-75 (talk) 13:25, 11 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

The same university offers a Bachelor's degree in Computer Systems Engineering at the Cremona campus, thus reflecting Lovelace's legacy in computer science and education. If possible, please also add the following image next to the new paragraph: File:Residenza Ada Byron Campus di Cremona Politecnico di Milano.jpg
