The Nobel Peace Prize is meaningless. No matter who or why and to whome it was given. It has nothing to do with the other Nobel Prizes.

The bearing is on the claim that calling software "intelligent" have anything to do with trusting or liability. Dumb or not, no one is supposed to blindly trust it.

"Calling it "intelligent" is irresponsible." How so ?

If a human of animal behaving the same were to be describe as intelligent, than so are those systems.

A system have capacity to do something, in that capacity it have normal operation. Operating above the normal operation but in the capacity is effort.

If any attempt at achieving a goal is in the normal operation of a system, then its effortless.

"Who cares!" Most people ?

Its the content of the book that matters, not how or who made it.

The human behind the pages is a nessecery evil to get to the book, same as food or furniture.

Not seeking a reason beyond the obvious IS what the concept of Laziness means, so its not rare at all. When you don't care if there is a reason for not doing something, you call it Laziness.

Inborn psychology , growing up psychology , created and acquired conception ; together get a certain preception.

If you have the wrong Inborn psychology , growing up psychology , created and acquired conception ; you are maximaly far from the true.

If you have the right Inborn psychology , growing up psychology , created and acquired conception ; you are maximaly near the true , so the truth is obvious.

Since not everyone have the same right Inborn psychology , growing up psychology , created and acquired conception ; than the truth isn't obvious to theem.
