Turning to AIs for a ruling on who is human and who is not is an interesting inversion of the Turing test.

Yep, The Island and Altered Carbon (also an excellent TV series) were the first two works of sci-fi that came to mind, but Altered Carbon is a much closer match where the clones were brainless vs. The Island (if I say any more it'd be a major spoiler for sure, even mentioning that it contains the concept is a bit of a spoiler).

...get elected. Brains are optional in politics.

Who cares?

I mean, I prefer the brainless version and if so....what's the controversy?

Please SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!!

Are there that few people that would be willing to do just about anything to live longer or near forever???

If you don't have a very healthy sense of self preservations, then please drop out of line, but if given half the chance for much longer life, potentially having a young body again....PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY and put me near the head of the line.

Why does everybody think I'm a lawyer?

Nobody wants Oracle products & pesky lawyers any more. AI ain't gonna save you. Sayonara

LOL...you seem reallly bent up about this.

Out of curiosity, what utopia do you live in pray tell?

I pay mine off all in full at EOM....seems a nice way to get some perks, convenience and some cash back....

It could be that. What it definitely was, though, is that Sony thought they could make more money selling to data centers than to the public.

HTML/CSS/DOM sucks rotting eggs for doing real GUI's. It was stretched way beyond it's original purpose of displaying static documents, and mutated into rocket spaghetti surgery and still has common GUI idioms missing or done wrong.

I'm for an HTTPS-friendly GUI markup standard, by the way. Build it from the ground up for GUI's.

lengthy prompts to draft

Just use AI to help generate prompts!

The trick has been around since industrial spies noticed the first liar got away with it.

I wonder if stock-holders can successfully sue for lying about the cause of a sales slump?

Make the AI bubble pop already. I'll stop wanking off for a year if you pop it, I swear on my rosie palm.
