“The artificial intelligence approach may not be altogether the right one to make to the problem of designing automatic assembly devices. Animals and machines are constructed from entirely different materials and on quite different principles. When engineers have tried to draw inspiration from a study of the way animals work they have usually been misled; the history of early attempts to construct flying machines with flapping wings illustrates this very clearly.” WayMayDifferentProblemInspirationAnimalPrinciplesStudyDesignMaterialsApproachDrawsMachinesWingsFlyingDevicesArtificial IntelligenceArtificialEngineersConstructsAssemblyMisledFlappingFlying Machines Author:Maurice Wilkes
“There are no wild, seedless watermelons. There's no wild cows... You list all the fruit, and all the vegetables, and ask yourself, is there a wild counterpart to this? If there is, it's not as large, it's not as sweet, it's not as juicy, and it has way more seeds in it. We have systematically genetically modified all the foods, the vegetables and animals that we have eaten ever since we cultivated them. It's called artificial selection.” IfsWayAsksAnimalSweetFruitSeedsListsVegetablesCowsArtificialSelectionCounterpartsJuicyGenetically Modified Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Nature (the Art whereby God hath made and governs the World) is by the Art of man, as in many other things, so in this also imitated, that it can make an Artificial Animal. For seeing life is but a motion of Limbs, the beginning whereof is in some principal part within; why may we not say, that all Automata (Engines that move themselves by springs and wheels as doth a watch) have an artificial life?” MenWorldMayArtMadeMovingLife IsNatureAnimalWatchesSeeingSpringHuman LifeWheelsEnginesArtificialPrincipalLimbsArtificial Life Book:Leviathan, Parts I and II Source: Leviathan, Parts I and II
“Grace is in a great measure a natural gift; elegance implies cultivation; or something of more artificial character. A rustic, uneducated girl may be graceful, but an elegant woman must be accomplished and well trained. It is the same with things as with persons; we talk of a graceful tree, but of an elegant house or other building. Animals may be graceful, but they cannot be elegant. The movements of a kitten or a young fawn are full of grace; but to call them "elegant" animals would be absurd.” WellsMayPersonsCharacterWould BeYoungGirlHouseNaturalAnimalGraceTreeMovementBuildingAbsurdAccomplishedArtificialElegantEleganceKittenCultivationUneducatedRusticNatural GiftsElegant WomanFawns Book:A Selection of English Synonyms Source: A Selection of English Synonyms
