If you do, be explicit about it either in parameter or function name. I'm not going to put you on my shitlist if you're naming your function `microsleep`, but if I have to go look into implementation to see that you count timeout on your database in microseconds (looking at you, couchbase, like you ever could return something from a larger dataset in microseconds, lol) or, even worse, cache expiry time in minutes (hello unknown developer), I am going to go on the internet and complain about you.
but then again, its approach is so vastly different that it makes it really incomparable with our typical modus operandi. It's throwing millions of monkeys into millions of typewriters and actually producing "to be or not to be" reliably.
I don't see AI writing Shakespeare in my lifetime though (I hope to die rather soon).
Unless you're not talking about the self-improvement path outlined in the post, but rather a startup. In that case things get a little more difficult.
so you're not killing tax evaders, but rather random innocents.
