   Sharing with you this part of a "conversation" with the AI ("DeepSeek")   
   Regards,   
   Rich Smith   
   --------------------------------   
      
   The AI has a reasonably good ability to match and apply what it's been   
   taught to analogous situations, which is the heart of a liberal arts   
   education. Yesterday I tried a practice LSAT for law school admission which   
   tested that ability by giving a scenario (case law?) and asking which of the   
   following choices best matched it. Some alternatives simply repeated the   
   buzzwords, others were close matches to the logic and very hard for me to   
   choose between, I scored 3 out of 5.   
      
   A practical example (of the test, too) is the patent dispute between Kilby   
   and Noyce over the invention of the IC, which devolved to the wording of the   
   interconnection method.

   "The court conclusion came down to the terminology of “laid down” and   
   “adhered” used in each of the patents. In 1969, the appellate patent court   
   made the final verdict that “Kilby’s didn’t prove the term ‘laid   
   down’   
   always meant or later came to mean the same as “adhere” in either   
   electronic   
   or semiconductor technologies.”   
      
   Science and engineering require the same logical reasoning ability except   
   that the answers may not yet exist and aren't actively hiding from us. Also   
   Nature is more demanding of correct Math than English.
