       | reading this article reminded me of a couple of quotes:
       | 
       | "The question of whether machines can think is about as relevant
       | as the question of whether submarines can swim" - Dijkstra
       | 
       | And paraphrasing another "it would be silly to say that airplanes
       | can't fly because they don't flap their wings like birds"

       | I'd rather read the prompt used to generate the article.
