The thing that intrigues me most about human body is its evolution.

Saying "either ... or ..." implies exclusive or. Inclusive or is just "... or ...". Like in, e.g., "Single digit numbers divisible by 2 or 3 are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 9."

What is "blood people"?

No, it is not, because one statement is not a negation of the other. Plus, being (or not) a contradiction is a logical rather than physical attribute and as such it does not depend on observer.

No, I would not, because there is no logical relation between us building AI and the history of life on Earth.

This is not so strange. These animals evolved big bellies in order to have room for a lot of low energy food. Rather than they have big bellies from eating this food.

A sofisticated bs generator. With a right training could replace Deepak Chopra.

I can't know any of this because both beer and cheese give me terrible headache. I had any of them last time many years ago.

They do. They do! Lots of Dutch around here. No 'typical European physique'. Many thin and toll. Consume a lot of beer and cheese.

Some people I know would say, But I ask about FOOD...

Right. Such misspelling is natural for a person whose first language is Russian. Thank you.

Just my 5 cents. Where I live, locals have a neat trick which goes a long way in helping to keep conversations polite. They avoid using a singular 'you' as much as possible. This trick helps to talk about a message rather than a person, makes it difficult to insert insults, etc.

But, it is 'lazer' in Russian...

I don't think the question is, how close is AI to HI (human I) -- it is nowhere close. An interesting question, however, is, how far the imitation can go. Understanding this might help us to understand better ourselves.

As it already writes programs in C++, how about giving it a COBOL tutorial and see if it will write COBOL programs?

Since the plasma we're talking about is a state of air, it seems to me that saying, "Lightening is a plasma" is a way of saying, "Lightening is air." I don't think that lightening is air.

(emphasis added )

Lightning is not a plasma. It makes plasma.

This process produces light.

@JustJoe. In case of lightening, it's a process.

No, it is not. It is a phenomenon.

@JustJoe. In the Modern and Theoretical Physics, where this thread is posted, electricity is not a substance.
