When I was at school, some teachers were worried about the use of calculators. How quaint and ancient that seems now. Today we have chat bots capable of writing essays and papers. #AI #artificalintelligence

No wonder we call mimicking someone "apeing". The majority of humans can instinctively understand ape gestures, even without context, a new study reveals. This goes to show just how closely related we are to chimps and bonobos. npr.org/2023/01/26/115…
