Why can't science create life, intelligence, a soul, or cure baldness?

I went to the best hospitals in the USA and it still feels like we're in the stone age.

AI is intelligence, SpudCell is life.

I thought AI was just linear regression and automatic means of optimizing to fit a curve. Its just stacking a fuckton of layers of the math so that it appears intelligent but its an illusion.

spudcell's DNA is made up of 80000 genes taken from other living things, they didn't make it from scratch

soul ?? can't create what doesn't exist

Baldness is already cured with hormones, it just also makes you grow tits and have mood problems like a woman, its not perfect but its way better than solutions we had in the past

The problem is if the follicles die completely then treatments to activate them won't do anything, people who have very advanced norwood stages and who are 40+ years old typically need hair transplants to see any regrowth
But if the hair is just now falling out or the baldness is patchy & incomplete it can be regrown pretty fully

medicine is the most primitive branch of science. Think about it. We just cut shit up and hope the body heals ok. We just guess at how much of a chemical will need and hope that however off it is the body just figures it out.

Prove that's not how your mind works.

>>17015532
If science does replicate abiogenesis, it will be because of intelligent intent, which proves intelligent intent is required; not natural circumstance.

Even the development of AI required intelligent intent :)

Sand and metal did not naturally self organize into AI

Next trivial scientific question to be fielded by a non-scientific schizo, please.

Them not doing that isn't the same as them not being able to do that in the right conditions. Different environments exert different pressures on chemical behavior, which means you can't just look around in today's world and complain that you don't find DNA forming from rock in a puddle or whatever.

>>17015532
science has cured baldness. bald men who undergo hrt regrow hair on their scalp. the hair follicles aren't dead. it's just that dht prevents it from growing. eliminate the dht and it'll regrow.

>prove a negative
You're a retard who lacks a fundamental understanding of logic.
>>
>>17015597
It's a valid point when your assertion fundamentally relies on said negative.

You attempt to differentiate AI from "true" intelligence by saying AI is [x]. This comes with the implicit assumption that the intelligence you possess is not [x]. So either you must show that [x] does not adequately describe your own mind or accept that your proposition is unfalsifiable.

I think my point has been sufficiently made. GG.

Yes – fears from a single exposure. Current AI systems might not have the emotions to choose the bear over the man because the man once looked in its direction. Further, for metaphors we humans (typically) have other shared emotional experience, not to mention the association of other data with emotions that AI might lack.

Messing directly with molecules is very hard because they're too small

The most anyone can say about "AI" is that it can parse natural language with reasonable accuracy and reliability and that its programmed to decorate its logical output with human discourse like filigree
Yes, you think the thing is alive and talking to you. Good for you I guess?

people who know anything about ai are not going to talk about it until their account are fat.
