[ExI] AI moves away from thinking like humans

[Adrian Tymes]

I'm calling foul on that article title.

"Moves away" says that this is definitely currently happening right now.
The article text only speaks about what might possibly happen in the
future, with no evidence cited of it happening right now.

For example: sure, they won't run the exact same experiments, because those
experiments have already been run and the AIs can learn from the results.
But the same "kinds"?  One could semantically argue "the same kinds of
experiments that helped humans master the materials and forces of energy
sources around them" into effectively being "literally only those
experiments that were run before AIs", which is a useless type of "kind"
for the point trying to be made.
