My first language is Chinese. I found that even the order of sentence leaks information, too.

Doctors will apply AI sooner than patient, and they can check these results with confidence.

They have a complex system to mantain the specific temperature. Huaman and other smaller animal do not have enough space to it inside.

Scientists collect many examples of different type of flagellum. So we can understand how it change during the evolution process. This article introduces the finding of organism structure.

please take a look at the video in the article. This man can keep his eyes open and even move his mouth (maybe just randomly behavior). That’s clearly much more responsive than most people who lie in bed with no reaction at all.

We have better DNA sequencing technology today, so we can detect how many species living in sample (soil/water/...) and guess something. But if someone want to "descripting" these fungi, they should plant the fungus species in lab and detect its feartures; this is more expensive, harder and usually impossible.

There are too few ads. I cannot even notice any big Google ads in the first view. I trust that the number of ads will fit the content farms today.

This makes sense! Many people trust that the functions of a human worker are asking questions and clicking ok. What if AI become better so we just a dog?
