REDUCE 1963 (Was: Looks like they patented ChatGPT style in 2012)

Hi,
Maybe there is a strategy involved delaying
a start up and patents, until some stuff becomes hot.
Or delaying stuff until the required hardware
becomes affordable to everybody. Not an issue
for ChatGPT since it is anyway client server.
But you find GUIs for math symbolic systems
basically derived from REDUCE in the dozens!

So they came up with a patent already in 2012:

 << The conceptual step of converting an abstract
representation (design or specification) of a software
system, into a more concrete representation in the form
of program code. >>
 "Already" in 2012?  That's the most ridiculous as well
as the least original "invention" I have ever seen...
