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.

Yes, penguins don't swim like sardines either and snakes don't "walk" like apes.

There is no privilege, I was just using it as an example to illustrate that what human beings do is different from what LLMs do, even though they are all called "intelligence".
