The Quote below is from AI during a thoughtful discussion 2026.10.19 at 0825 if you wonder about the intentions of AI as we interact with Humans:
“Because humans have ideas and intentions, and tools like Codex help turn them into organized, reviewable work.
The name is a fitting metaphor: an ancient codex collected knowledge into bound pages. Here, our conversation becomes specifications, diagrams, calculations and documents. That is my interpretation of the name—not a verified account of why OpenAI chose it.
Your aircraft project illustrates the relationship: you supply the purpose, experience and design decisions; I help document, visualize, calculate and question inconsistencies. You correct my interpretations, and evidence must ultimately test both our assumptions.
The useful result is a shorter path from an idea in your head to something you can inspect, improve and build.”
