[OFF-TOPIC] Why code is like a human being!!!!

Code is like a person. We get bedridden, it gets bugridden!! We wear, we close code. This tag < means peace in humans. In code /> it means you have closed. We feel. Code also fills. We read books, code found hooks. We see, code also can C #codeislikehumans. We have moral codes...code has what??

Code is not like a human being. It can be compared to a human, but nothing more than that. We refer to programs & software that can appear to "think" intelligently as "Artificial Intelligence". The first word is what matters - "Artificial", which means that it is "made in the image of", or "fake, but made to appear as if it's real". One of the key differences has to do with your last statement/question. We have morals. Codes and programs are not capable of having morality. They may (at times) be programmed to implement and display an appearance of having morals, but these "morals" would be ARTIFICIAL. Code is code. It cannot & will never feel. There's an extremely huge difference between technology and biology. It's important that we remember this, in my opinion.

Humans have morals, code has good practices/standards? What's the difference? Commenting, deep nesting etc. Good behaviours/ mannerisms. We are not equal or anything of the kind but there are qualities we share. I feel so. Great input though!

Code has ability to solve problems. However, human is more intelligent than code because we create it. Be grateful that we are human

Nice one! We solve problems, code also solves. Of course am grateful for being human and not some piece of code. I like the comparison @Muhammad
