? I'm assuming that Lyle is yanking our chain, but the above statement
makes no more sense than E. Shaun Russell's diatribe on AIs somehow
having their own culture. If there is an artificial entity which has
been indistinguishable from a natural human at a complex level of
operation, it really doesn't matter if humanity is its native mode of
thought or if it's just faking our mental species. The feat would still
be wondrous.
