“Sort of. More like a translation, though . . . The fidelity is never one hundred percent. You’re relying on one neural network to interpret another, and then . . . working from that interpretation. Distortion is inevitable. And the simulation is always a reduction of the original. It’s easy for (an) AI simulator to misinterpret the data in the original and miss something (very) important.” 

What’s your point?

You hang your hat on AI feel its some kind of Godsend a deliberative means you insist is more than adequate to instruct us human beings how to get alonghow to act correctly

no sooner had he stoodgone up two steps to the porch where bigfoot and wee patiently waited their food he heard a scuttleflurry behind him 

the scrubjay that passed overhead

                                     it was at Roberts plate helping itself not waiting to be recognised he scattered kibble for scrubjays they all looked alike to him like whites to Asians whites to Blacks whites to Mexicans he couldnt distinguish if he was feeding one or two or twenty   figured word was out

smiling he muttered Sheesh-kabob a new fastbecoming favorite figure of speech limp raw sheeshes skewered like meats at a Mongolian barbecue

HERE 

       before tending to bigfoot and wee he tossed a mittful of kibble onto the drive

it leapt from the fence to the blacktop between scattered feed eyeballed left then right left right another question begging then took wingsped back to Roberts plate which allowed maximum opportunity with least effort

  :  :  That’s what I meant.

  :  :  Quality is a property.

  :  :  You’d agree not necessarily good.

  :  :  It’s a standard, a degree, a measurement between similar things.

  :  :  Which you must think is good.

  :  :  You're putting words in my mouth.

  :  :  Someone has to when you refuse to affirm or deny a simpleton premise. Utilising the quote, using your emergent quality, referring to the formation of collective behaviors, I’m using collective behaviors loosely . . a tsunami . . a good or bad thing?

  :  :  It’s emergent, isn’t it?

  :  :  Commit.

  :  :  I’m not saying either way.

  :  :  Too absolute for your tastes? Yes? No? And while you ponder your emergent quality, the tsunami, another real event, 2018, aided by an earthquake, collective, pulverized the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, killing more than 2,000, displacing in excess of a quarter million people; not to mention (I love that bullshit line – because the person then mentions), not to mention, also devastating my favorite coffee, Sulawesi, for the immediate future.
