If that's what clean room means to you, I do know AI can definitely replace you. As even ChatGPT is better than that.

(prompt: what does a clean room implementation mean?)

From ChatGPT without login BTW!

> A clean room implementation is a way of building something (usually software) without copying or being influenced by the original implementation, so you avoid copyright or IP issues.

> The core idea is separation.

> Here’s how it usually works:

> The basic setup

> Two teams (or two roles):

> Specification team (the “dirty room”)

> Looks at the original product, code, or behavior

> Documents what it does, not how it does it

> Produces specs, interfaces, test cases, and behavior descriptions

> Implementation team (the “clean room”)

> Never sees the original code

> Only reads the specs

> Writes a brand-new implementation from scratch

> Because the clean team never touches the original code, their work is considered independently created, even if the behavior matches.

> Why people do this

> Reverse-engineering legally

> Avoid copyright infringement

> Reimplement proprietary systems

> Create open-source replacements

> Build compatible software (file formats, APIs, protocols)

I really am starting to think we have achieved AGI. > Average (G)Human Intelligence
