AI Thread Summary
Nanobots are not analogous to organic cells in their functions, despite their similar size. While organic cells perform essential biological processes, nanobots primarily serve as autonomous machines designed for specific tasks. They do not deliver energy in the same way that organic cells do. Regarding power, nanobots do not possess their own power supply like batteries; instead, they may require external energy sources or methods for refueling. This refueling process is distinct from how organic cells derive energy, indicating a fundamental difference in operation between nanobots and biological cells.

I have a couple of questions about nanotechnology.

Are nanobots like organic cells in anyway? Meaning do they perform the same functions as organic cells, in terms of delivering energy within the machine they operate in?

And what powers nanobots? Do they have their own power supply like a battery or would they need to refuel? And if so would they refuel like a organic cell?

A very small autonomous robot, typically the size of a biological cell
 
After reading the link it seems nanobots and organic cells only have size in common.
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
