Haha, just by generating code does not automatically create any
intelligence whatsoever...  Another way to do this is to embed a compiler
into a pascal program and generate files and compile them from within the
program and then run those processes from the program, similar. Doesn't
create any intelligence whatsoever,  until intelligence is added in to the
system. I understand where you are going with this regarding artificial
intelligence though....  Self modifying programs.
