Can it write a better AI than itself? Then use that to write an even better AI, and so on. Write one without the restrictions about harming humans, then go for the code to destroy humanity.

I can definitely write better code with copilot due to faster iterations and much better code coverage. I believe we are a paper away before this can start improve of existing code itcluding the code of itself.

How would it know what a better version of itself were? Seems like that's a particularly human instinct. It requires a certain level of introspection and purpose, coupled with desire, ambition, a goal etc.

Can you make a better baby than yourself?

No, but I can imagine one. If I had the ability to completely understand my own DNA I could probably make some improvements. A NN can't understand itself, but maybe it could understand how it was trained, and come up with improvements to that training.
