    Engineering Measuring Artificial Intelligence

    I would be dishonest to myself if I considered the possibility that AI can or will be superior to the human brain. I believe that what makes biological organisms non-replicable is a system on a level that no computer can ever match. If you think a computer can be capable of emotions, dreams...

    You use the word self, and there is no self in a computer. The intelligence you refer to is nothing but ones and zeros. Self is defined as a characteristic of the mind; it starts in the mind and stays there.

    Stargazing Small angle lunar haloes

    The haloes will vary in size according to the thickness and density of the cold air and moisture particles in the regen, whether they are frozen or not; it's just a matter of refraction and defraction. If you could observe the haloes from a longer distance, they would be more defused and larger...

    B Why do objects bounce?

    Quit simple, it's just compression and release. Conetic energy makes compression, and stored energy is then released.

    All this relates to speed, not discovery. We can discover new things, but a computer is only full of itself.

    Then I must be wrong, and you are correct, even if I am just missing your point of view. My point was that a machine will always be just a machine. The human brain is adaptable and able to discover new evidence with the aid of seeing and hearing, and as I pointed out, the AI will never have this...

    I think the only thing AI will have over the human brain is speed, and speed alone is not the priority of intelligence.

    Engineering Measuring Artificial Intelligence

    Well, let us look at it like this: if you ask AI to tell you the best way to accomplish a task, it may well do so, but if you ask a person with knowledge of the task, you will receive additional information regarding things like safety and other factors that are associated with the task. This is...

    Engineering Measuring Artificial Intelligence

    AI spits out the correct answer or not, the human brain has the ability to judge itself and make corrections at will. Part of having any competency is the ability to recognise an error and setting out to correct it. AI has no ability to discriminate against its lack of investigation options. We...

    How can I avoid Foaming in my cutting fluid tank? (attached drawing for reference)

    Use a small catchment box at the outlet to compress the foam and a small hole to let the oil flow out.

    How does pulling a string start a lawnmower or a weed eater?

    Pulling the cord rotates the crankshaft, setting the motor in motion, allowing the electric spark and combustion to do their job.
