Or planes can fly, right?

I understand this, however it's not a fair point. Without proper understanding of 'swimming' and 'flying' these technologies wouldn't be possible. So the link between thinking and AI is not totally trivial in my opinion.

It's very interesting that there is no problem to describe the action of planes as "flying" (because we humans do not fly), but OTOH it feels very weird to say that a submarine swim... becase WE do swim...


What is the word for what cars do?


Interesting observation!
