Sure...it could use AI to make itself better and better at interpreting the
logs and telling the user how to fix the problem.  Once it got to certain

to the system.  If the problem couldn't be fixed via software fixes and/or
configuration fixes, it could just design new hardware, have it built at
an automated factory......   :-)
