Are you an idiot?

Why are you talking about this sort of thing? You do realize AI is taking over, right? We won't be talking about Camus' intelligence in a few years but Machine Intelligence surpassing us in virtually every endeavor.

Check out
philosopherai.com

For example. AI can philosophize now, write essays, write poems and fiction better than humans can now. Tesla's stocks are riding and AGI's (Singularity coin) value rose 20% in one day. Get informed

Calling him a philosopher is disagraceful

it would make more sense to speak of the relationship between mind and body
