Yes. Planes don't fly the same way that birds do.

They are go up in the air like birds but what they are doing to get up & be up in the sky is very different.

Just like LLMs, planes are way less energy efficient than birds. Just like how Human brains are way more efficient than Convents & LLMs

You didn't answer my question. I didn't ask you whether planes flew like birds do. I asked you if planes are "mimicking" flight and if that's a statement that makes any sense at all.

  • Well it depends on what you mean by flight.

    If you mean something projecting itself into the air, then yes. Rockets fly, Kites fly, bullets fly, planes too fly.

    But if by flight you mean replicating what birds do to get into the sky & come down. Rockets, Kites, bullets & planes don't do that.

    • Bees don't fly like birds.

      Is a bee "mimicking" flight too ? Does that make any sense ? Why is the bird privileged here ?

      Bats don't fly like either bees or birds. all these damn mimics running around.
